Re: Emacs Mode Problem with includes
That worked perfectly:
Emacs > Options > Customize Emacs > Options Matching > Lilypond > Lilypond
Lilypond Command > /usr/bin/lilypond
--include=/home/laurie/Lilypond/includes "${@}"
Thanks

I am not calling lilypond directly from emacs, but a short script which
itself runs:
/usr/local/lilypond/current/bin/lilypond
--include=/home/torsten/.lilypond/include "${@}"
Have fuun!

Yes, there is really no comparison. Emacs has better MIDI recognition than Frescobaldi, and editing Scheme-only files is nicer. And it blows the socks off anything as a viewer for Lilypond's Info documentation. I use Emacs for editing LilyPond because I am used to working with Emacs for everything. But the LilyPond mode is really not holding a candle to what Frescobaldi offers. -- David Kastrup
Re: Emacs Mode Problem with includes
Thanks David, I think I'll stay with Frescobaldi! Emacs doesn't seem to edit .ly files any more easily so there isn't much advantage in tweaking it to behave with my customised Include files. As for your question about where I found the documentation for the location of my Includes: Options > Customise Emacs -> All Settings Matching > "lilypond". It's a shame, I found Emacs to be the best LaTeX editor I tried.

That looks like something to do with Frescobaldi; is that so?

Re: Emacs Mode Problem with includes
Thanks, I should have spotted that. But I'm not sure why this setting hasn't been picked up by Emacs lilypond mode: Lilypond Include Path: String: /home/laurie/Lilypond/includes State : SAVED and set. LilyPond include path. Groups: Lilypond I don't want to type the full file path everytime I use one of my includes.

Emacs Mode Problem with includes
Hi, I thought I'd give the Emacs Lilypond mode a try-out. I like Emacs and have used it a lot for coding and writing in LaTeX in my past career. (No editor wars please, VIM is good too but I'm less familiar with it!) I store my Includes file in a directory ~/Lilypond/includes but Lilypond mode cannot locate them even if I specify a full file name e.g \include "/home/Laurie/Lilypond/includes/jazzchords.ily" I set this in my ~/.emacs file (custom-set-variables '(LilyPond-include-path "/home/laurie/Lilypond/includes") '(LilyPond-lilypond-command "/usr/bin/lilypond")) Still I get errors like this: /home/laurie/Documents/Charts/Transpositions/Dear Old Stockholm/Dear-Old-Stockhom_Traditional.ly:3:10: error: cannot find file: `/home/Laurie/Lilypond/includes/jazzchords.ily' (search path: `/home/laurie/Documents/Charts/Transpositions/Dear Old Stockholm:/usr/share/lilypond/2.25.4/ly:/usr/share/lilypond/2.25.4/ps:/usr/share/lilypond/2.25.4/scm:/usr/share/lilypond/2.25.4/fonts/otf/:/usr/share/lilypond/2.25.4/fonts/svg/:') \include "/home/Laurie/Lilypond/includes/jazzchords.ily" Any ideas?
