I'm in search of the "best of both worlds" ly editor. I've gotten started with Frescobaldi. Autocompletion is invaluable, and the integrated PDF view and help browser is a real lifesaver.
But, I use Emacs for just about everything else. So I had a look at LilyPond mode. + Documentation is available by help - info. I could C-x 5 2 to have the help window open alongside the editing window, close enough. - The index frame from Frescobaldi's HTML view makes navigation a few million times easier. + Emacs keybindings. +/- Autocompletion is a bit less helpful without the kate-style pop-ups, but still nice. - PDF display is treated as a compilation process. To view a new rendering, I'm forced to close the old viewer window first (!). (Also a bit of sloppiness in the Emacs variable handling -- since I don't have xpdf on my system, I changed the appropriate variable to "evince" but the change did not take effect until after quitting and restarting Emacs.) The PDF display thing is almost a dealbreaker. The integration is simply much better in Frescobaldi. Has anyone created Emacs keybindings for the Frescobaldi editor (or, 'kate' in general)?
