There are several points to that: our Emacs mode does not know enough about LilyPond: it can't recognize notenames and do things with them. Now a _lot_ of things could be done by starting "lilypond scheme-sandbox" or something comparable and routing a lot of things tentatively through the Guile prompt. What I consider most embarrassing actually is that our Emacs mode does not indent (or color) Scheme passages reasonably. It should figure out where Scheme begins/ends, and then just hoist the respective work off to scheme-mode functions. It's bad enough that some basical .ly files (like init.ly) are actually placed in scheme-mode manually. With regard to fancy point-and-click: maybe SVG+imagemap would be a nicer backend combination to work with than PDF. At any rate, we need an "image map" backend of some kind for LilyPond since it would also be a real smoothy for the HTML output from Lilypond-book. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
