Hi David
I confirm the problem.
But I wonder how lilypond can predict how many spaces an editor will
consider for a tab. It's impossible, isn't it? The best workaround is
not using tabs at all (or replace them with spaces upon save).
For those who want to reproduce the problem, do not use Frescobaldi,
which converts tabs to spaces. Create a ly file with another editor,
use tabs, compile the PDF and you'll see that the COLUMN in
textedit://FILE:LINE:CHAR:COLUMN has a shift forward.

I actually like then setup I currently have (Lilypond + Notepad++
with custom Lilypond language definition for auto complete and syntax
highlighting [the definitions file is out there on the Internet] plus
Sumatra PDF as a viewer that allows PDF updating even when open - one
custom Notepad shortcut for compiling with NppExec and that's it).
The only part that is hacky is the referred "textedit" links because
somehow internally, when lilypond generates them, it assumes that one
tab equals 8 spaces and this is actually editor and configuration
dependant (so it seems there should be a way to set tab size for
textedit link calculations within Lilypond, which I do not know if it
is the case).
In consequence, I have some nasty calculations in a custom script for
textedit:// links to actually land in the right column in Notepad++.

Hi David,
Lilypond only cares about whitespace. Tbas are not integral to the
syntax, as they are in some programming languages. Why don't you
consider using Frescobaldi? Its a very capable and good lilypond
environment. I cant see why, given that it exists, anybody would use
a crude text editor. I can understand using emacs, however. Give it
a go!

I have been fiddling with textedit on Windows, and I have
determined that when source files contain tabs, lilypond always
calculates the "column" parameter assuming that tabs occupy 8
spaces. In my case I have my editor configured for 4 spaces, so the
link always overshoots.
