and there are at least some *fundamental* enhancement requests for
lilypad.
I'm not sure if they're allready listed, and I did not check until now in
the issue list:
- no UTF-8 support (I would expect: UTF-8 only) [698]
- no reuse of allready opened edit windows (popup the edit window if the
file is allready opened, and send a »goto line/column command« to this
window)
- no display of the current line and column of the cursor position
- no »goto line/column« in the menu
All this lead me to use notepad together with a special
»popup_or_launch_notepad__then_goto_line_and_column« at my installation.
Nevertheless, I'll try if I can get lilypad cross-compiled in the UBUNTU
development VM image (mingw is allready added).
Using notepad-plus as a new base of lilypad (or call it then lilypad-plus)
would still be much work - perhaps too much work.
I often aksed myself if it's worth for me to create a special text editor
to
use with lilypond on windows, but I know this would be a lot of work even
if
I can start with another freeware editor. Perhaps more time required than
I
can afford.
I've managed to compile lilypad on my Windows machine using mingw gcc. What
I've discovered firstly is that the version we deliver is not the one you
get when you compile the source on github. So the first issue is to fix
that, and then consider some simple enhancements. (BTW - the "new" version
opens at the right line and column).
