I understand lilypond to be primary a "command line compiler to create sheet music (e.g. as PDF) from a human readable source code". To work with lilypond you need some other tools, i.e.. a text editor and a PDF reader, or an integrated development environment. For each operatiing system there are multiple options for each "user interface tool" with different features avalible. Features for the editor are: UTF-8 support, syntax highlighting, auto complete, collapse-expand-sections, search in other files and goto the found position, point-and-click-capabilitiy, freeware-lor-legacy Featurer for the PDF viewer as: file lock which inhibits recreation of the PDF while it's open, auto-update of the view, point-and-click-capability I missed such an overview when I started using Lilypond, and until now I do not know a place to find this information. An overview like this will help the users, and perhaps it'll lead to the answer, which of the possible "working environment setup" to setup by default by the lilypond installation. Would it be a good idea to add such a table to Manuals-Usage at the lilypond.org internet representation? Here I try to start and list a few information: Editor "lilypad" (Windows) - Freeware UTF-8 NOT supported (the last time I tried it) Editor "notepad" (Windows) - included in the Operating system UTF-8 supported current Line- and Column can be displayed (user must turn it on) NO syntax highlighting NO auto complete NO collapse/expand NO search in other files ONLY VERY SPECIAL SETUP to achieve Point-and-Click capability (documented in the german Lilypond User Forum) Viewer "acrobat reader" (Windows) - Free use LOCKS the opend files thus the cannot be recompiled until you close the viewer, therefore also NO autoupdate Point-and-Click capabiliy available Viewer "sumatraPDF" (Windows) - Freeware autoupdate no lock of opened files SPECIAL SETUP to allow Point-and-Click (add "textedit" to the protocol list in sumatrapdfrestrict.ini) -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/PointAndClick-on-Windows-tp144117p144274.html Sent from the Bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
