New issue 3306 by address@hidden: Point and click does not work  
on Windows
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3306

The problem is described in  
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Point-and-Click-does-not-work-on-Windows-td115986.html  
- i.e. the textedit URLs do get embedded in the PDF, but these are not  
properly handled by the delivered solution.  There is a clever batch file  
that fixes this, but this requires the registry be edited after every  
lilypond installation.  It also assumes the user is familiar with editing a  
batch file to use their own favourite editor.  My suggested approach:

* modify the batch file to default to using lilypad as delivered with  
lilypond
* call lilypad using the full path to it - this is now necessary since we  
do not set the PATH in windows.
* gain the path details from the $0 command line argument, with batch file  
string manipulation
* allow the user to set environment variable LILY_EDITOR to over-ride this.

Note - there is also a bug in lilypad, which means that the maximum column  
width that is used is the width of the line _above_ the relevant one.  We  
need someone with a Windows C compiler to fix that, I believe.
