Most probably others can help you configure it better, or help you to use it in a way that it handles TABS better. TAB is a bit special but fairly frequently used character, and it would help you if you were able to edit sources that contain TABs?

I'm asking because this would be a workaround for your problem with your editor, or with how you use it but it does not really fix it? The tab problem would "go away" for you, when working on LilyPond, you'll encounter the very same problem with any project that uses TABs in source code (that's any GNU project, the linux kernel, eg). Also, I think that for most people that work on LilyPond, this change would make working on different projects harder (unless maybe they work exclusively for Google ;-) Greetings, Jan. -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen <[email protected]> | GNU LilyPond - The music typesetter Avatar®: http://AvatarAcademy.nl | http://lilypond.org _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
