After having read so much about what you guys do with Emacs - for which I feel a deep respect - I thought I would drop a line about Vim. Both editors are said to be very old, noble, and highly estimated tools in the world of Linux hackers...
And by saying that you avoid another round in the infamous Emacs vs. Vi battle. Very wise indeed... ;-)
<snip>
I have tried to search Internet for descriptions of this feature but I do not seem to find any anywhere - because, if there are made changes to the abc language - extensions in the sense of abcplus for example - then one should expect that there would also be someone who maintains the abc mode for Vim.
Who actually does that? Who wrote that mode in the first place? Who knows anything about this particular matter?
Well, you can stop searching: the answer is on your very harddrive... Take a look in /usr/share/vim/vim60/syntax/abc.vim (or maybe in another location, depending on your distro). The maintainer appears to be James Allwright (of abcMIDI fame) and information about the mode on the web can be found at http://perun.hscs.wmin.ac.uk/~jra/vim/syntax/index.html.
Have fun!
