Hi, I am new to the group and just starting my Lilypond learning. I am using Fedora 17 and 19. My favorite editor is Vim but I am far from a power user. I am confused about syntax highlighting for Lilypond.
The Lilypond website: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Do...editor-support suggests an entry into .vimrc such as: filetype off set runtimepath+=/usr/local/share/lilypond/current/vim/ filetype on My Fedora 19 version of Lilypond is 2.16.2 and has no such vim directory. My Fedora 17 version of Lilypond is 2.16.0 and also no such directory. Fedora 17 appears to use/or has at least, three files in the vim73 syntax directory; lilypond.vim, lilypond-words, and lilypond-words.vim. Vim73's syntax highlighting works although it may not be as developed as Frescobaldi's. My Fedora 19 install has the above three mentioned files installed in vim73's syntax directory but they are the only files as Fedora 19 now uses vim74. I copied them to vim74 but syntax highlighting does not yet work for me in Fedora 19. Helpful persons from the Fedora Forum have told me I should download files from github and put them into my home .vim folder. Are there differences in the quality or completeness of syntax highlighting of Lilypond files by Vim? I tried to contact the maintainer of the lilypond.vim syntax file but the Email is no longer used. Has anyone got vim up and running on Fedora 19 with Lilypond? Is anyone using Vim with Lilypond and found it to be as good or better than Frescobaldi?
