Well, I'm a bit disappointed about what you said about the
jEdit+LilyPondTool set.
- I can confirm that setting up everything may be more than just to
apt-get something. However, as far as I see you may get LilyPondTool
running by just downloading Java, jEdit and making three clicks with
your mouse in jEdit. Perhaps you also need to configure some properties,
but that's quite natural.
- We don't have a lyqi-mode yet, that's true. We'd like to do one, but
didn't have the time yet, so it's half-made.
However, LilyPondTool is created for some very important purpose, and
some unique features:
- code completion - if you like browsing the documentation all the way
to find out the exact name and syntax of properties and commands, or you
can remember everything you need, don't use it
- score setup wizard with customizable templates - if you can easily
read and remember the structure of a LilyPond file, and you can find and
modify an appropriate lilypond file faster and easier than visually
setting up the score and selecting its properties, and then don't use it
- lilypond documentation in indexed full-text searchable help - if you
like browsing some 10MB HTML files instead of just entering some
keywords and quickly browse through the hits, then don't use it
- instant error report - if you never make any mistakes, and you always
close your braces and beams and slurs, then don't use it
- automatic hyphenation of lyrics - if you write lyrics, but you find it
easier to manually hyphenate it, instead of leaving it to the OpenOffice
hyphenation dictionaries, and just making some corrections (which are
needed because text hyphenation is not the same as lyrics), don't use it
- macros and templates for many LilyPond constructs and it's easy to
create new ones - repeats, articulations applied to note blocks, text
markups, general tweaks
I must admit that we have some not-working features, but have much more
working features than emacs has. And (besides lyqi) we have all features
working that emacs has.
