New issue 3306 by [email protected]: Point and click does not work
on Windows
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3306
The problem is described in
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Point-and-Click-does-not-work-on-Windows-td115986.html
- i.e. the textedit URLs do get embedded in the PDF, but these are not
properly handled by the delivered solution. There is a clever batch file
that fixes this, but this requires the registry be edited after every
lilypond installation. It also assumes the user is familiar with editing a
batch file to use their own favourite editor. My suggested approach:
* modify the batch file to default to using lilypad as delivered with
lilypond
* call lilypad using the full path to it - this is now necessary since we
do not set the PATH in windows.
* gain the path details from the $0 command line argument, with batch file
string manipulation
* allow the user to set environment variable LILY_EDITOR to over-ride this.
Note - there is also a bug in lilypad, which means that the maximum column
width that is used is the width of the line _above_ the relevant one. We
need someone with a Windows C compiler to fix that, I believe.
