Emacs integration

[Jan Nieuwenhuizen]

Hi,

I was inspired by pair of video's this morning

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZU8dm9MtHo

in which George Hess shows how to create a scale sheet in Finale and in
MuseScore.

It looks to me as a most cumbersome process, dabbling through menus and
obnoxious dialogues that apparently insist that you supply information
beforehand, such as title and composer before you can even enter a
single note.

Moreover, it takes about 10 minutes to enter something that can be
easily typed in under a minute, or two minutes if you type slow and
provide instructions for a screencast.

While I was in the process of creating a screencast using Frescobaldi,
it dawned on my how weird that is, because I'm realy bad at editing
text in something that's not Emacs.  However, Frescobaldi has become
much, friendlier than our Emacs mode.

Below is something I hacked-up to auto-create PDF-preview and
compilation windows, but don't touch the layout if they are already
visible; while skipping the awkward compile? save? and view? questions
all the time.  It seems that point and click is not possible in this
setup (docview does not support direct-PDF, and embedding evince through
XWidgets hasn't been merged)?

Greetings, Jan
