Hi!
If you're using Windoze, you might want to use Wordpad, instead of
Notepad as your editor. I've found on my windoze machine that this is
the easiest editor to use -- I think it's part of their distro. I
tried installing jEdit, but only got as far as installing java, and
haven't been able to install jEdit itself. Meantime, I'm having no
problems with Wordpad -- I've put it on the desktop to make it easier
-- just slide my .ly file (it has no trouble using the .ly extension)
into the icon to open, then slide it into the lilypond icon for
compiling.
WordPad isn't really a text editor. It's normal files are RTF files
which are what Word files are based on. If you are going to use WordPad
and save as text you might as well use MS Word or OpenOffice (neither
of which I would ever consider for LIly).
Besides the several editors commonly used by LilyPond people mentioned
on this list there are several nice shareware editors which really are
text editors like EditPad.
