Hi - I'd like to chime in with my two cents on the JEdit / no JEdit topic.
Perhaps I should try again, but when I tried using JEdit about a year ago (with LilyPondTool, I think - is JEdit normally used without LilyPondTool?), it took so long to load JEdit, that I said, "Forget it - I'm going back to ConTEXT." ConTEXT is not perfect, but it works and works quickly for me. Anybody know if JEdit's load time has improved any? Also, I hope the tenor of the discussion stays civil. People's preferences differ, often with valid reasons. I don't think any of us want to push (hard, anyway) anyone in a particular software direction -- except in the direction of LilyPond, of course. I'm on a PC running XP SP3 now, others are on Macs, and many seem to be running some version of Linux, so I would assume that not all software is useable by all of us. I'm hoping to get my daughter's semi-trashed 6-year-old laptop soon, reformat, and start learning Linux, so I'll be in a new category soon. I do think we all want as many people to be able to use LilyPond as painlessly as possible, right? Thanks for listening, and thanks for all your hard work - everybody!
