Sean, Did you put in your .emacs the code that links .ly files with lilypond-mode? You can do this by adding: ;; lilypond (autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode" "LilyPond Editing Mode" t) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode)) (add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock)))
Or, alternatively, you can use M-x load-library [ret] lilypond-mode to load lilypond mode. This makes the lilypond functions available to emacs. You then are able to switch on lilypond mode by M-x LilyPond-mode. Please be aware that these names are case-sensitive. HTH, Arjan Btw [ot] When starting with Latex in emacs, please consider auctex as an enhanced latex-mode. It helps with a lot of small things, like placing the correct environment with begin and end, changing fonts and things like that. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Sean Reed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: zo 8-5-2005 1:22 Aan: Arjan Bos CC: lilypond-user's list Onderwerp: Re: mac osx emacs lilypond-mode hi arjan, thanks for the response. i still must be doing something wrong, or not understanding something. i created an .emacs file and added-to-list 'load-path the directories /sw/etc/emacs21/site-start.d (where i have lilypond-init.el) and /sw/share/emacs21/site-lisp (where i have lilypond-mode.el, -indent.el, -font-lock.el etc.). having quit and restarted the program, i used C-h v load-path and saw that both directories were now indeed listed the load-paths. but M-x gave me no option for loading any lilypond-mode. is that not how you load it? could it be a version discrepancy? (installed emacs 21.3.50 via fink today). i am (pretty much) brand new (again) to emacs and went through the whole tutorial with C-h t today. even if the point-and-click doesn't work out, i would be interested in learning it a bit more, since i would consider using it for latex documents and eventually for CLM at some point again (which is where i used it bumbingly a couple of months 5 years ago for the first time). thanks again for any tips. best, sean -------------------------------------------- Sean Reed Hamburg, Germany Web: www.seanreed.de On 07.05.2005, at 21:21, Arjan Bos wrote: > To create a .emacs file, simply start editing one.
