I use jEdit with lp plugin on WindowsXP, I did have to go to Sun and upgrade my java though to get it to work. And you have to go into the options for the lilypond plugin to set up the command launch lines as though you were entering them at the command prompt.
The only problem with jEdit is that the editor is very slow when your lp file goes over 10000 lines or so. My computer is plenty fast because I could lp compile the same 10000 lines in about 7 seconds, but it takes jEdit about 30 seconds just to open the text file for editing. It must do something stupid like reading the whole file into memory instead of paging through it based on the scroll bar. Other than that its fine. Java applications generally run pretty sluggish on Windows so it was expected. For me enduring the initial pain of learning the lp syntax and using a simple text editor seems to be serving me better than adding another layer of graphical abstraction between me and lp. (this still doesn't mean that I would not like to see a macro pre-processor though, built over lp. Macros would help me to shorten up my 10000 line source file by generating all this code instead of me hand coding it via copy and paste) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Which-frontend--t1529481.html#a4172288 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User forum at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
