Re: Lilypond language definition for Notepad++

[David Fedoruk]

I have never been able to get all the features of LilyPondTool to work
in jEdit. The advanced render and open as PDF has rarely if ever
worked for me.

I render from a bash or zsh shell and open it manually from the
Finder. It may be a bit awkward and not how it was designed to work,
but even so, jEdit and LilypondTool are by far the best combination I
have yet found.

I've also never been able to figure out how to get the lilypond plugin
from Open Office to work. But, I probably would not change from jEdit
and LilypondTool anyway. The OpenOffice solution may make producing a
musicology essay a bit easier since I am not that comfortable with
Latex -- but I've even managed that.

I know I am impatient with some of these other solutions but I need a
text editor to work out of the box without a lot of fiddling. I do
enough fiddling and tweaking in Lilypond itself as it is.

For some reason Smultrons's syntax completion doesn't work for me,
hence I abandoned it quickly and remained with jEdit and LilypondTool.
