Re: Outdated lilypond-mode for emacs ?

[Mats Bengtsson]

You are probably right that the Emacs mode isn't very actively 
maintained, but my
impression has been that it works quite well. When it comes to syntax 
updates in
LilyPond, the list of command names used for syntax highlightening in 
the mode,
is automatically updated for every new LilyPond release and the basics 
of the syntax
have not changed significantly since 2006.

Could you please point out exactly what problems you have noted.
