Which command did you assign for textedit protocol? Yesterday I read a similar answer and installed RVDefaultApp. Now I can set which application should open textedit:// URIs. However I cannot set the text editor directly, as the text editor cannot handle this protocol. I guess I should use lilypond-invoke-editor but, as I've already reported, I could not make it work on either Mac or Windows. It looks like it's the last step to get what I want. OK, then you are in more or less the same situation as me - you need a small helper app that takes the URI and invokes your editor. I have a small AppleScript app which does this (I think I got the base for it from the LilyPond site ages ago): You may simply use the same bash script that works in Linux: $ ls -l /usr/local/bin/lilypond-invoke-editor lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 1 ago 16.06 /usr/local/bin/lilypond-invoke-editor -> /usr/local/bin/lilypond-wrapper.guile $ cat /usr/local/bin/lilypond-wrapper.guile #!/bin/sh export PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lilypond/usr/lib/lilypond/current/python:/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/python:$PYTHONPATH" export GUILE_LOAD_PATH="/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lilypond/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" me=`basename $0` exec "/usr/local/lilypond/usr/bin/guile" "/usr/local/lilypond/usr/bin/$me" "$@" I adapted it above file to the correct path in Mac and I can now launch: lilypond-invoke-editor textedit://path/to/file.ly:1:2:3 Last step left is how to tell the system to use lilypond-invoke-editor to open textedit URIs. I've created a new app containing the bash script to launch lilypond-invoke-editor, but I cannot find a way to associate it to the textedit URIs. See below.

Does it have to have a special name? I would lean towards "yes", but that is not something I can definitely answer. Regardless of whether it is required or not, though, it would be best to stick to a consistent naming throughout. For your reference, I based my registry modification on an existing URI protocol handler, specifically "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\vscode". I used regedit to export that section of the registry to a file, modified the file as appropriate, and then merged it back in. This simplified things since I had a specific template to follow; also it was much faster than trying to manually add keys via the GUI. NOTE: If you do the same thing, be sure that you find and replace all instances of "vscode" within the exported registry file with "textedit". You do not want to accidentally modify the wrong part of the registry. - I guess that the CMD path to lilypond-invoke-editor is wrong (it seems a Linux path).

But keep in mind that I chose to install LilyPond to /usr/local/bin which is the default location when you run the installation script with `sudo`. You can, of course, install LilyPond to your local /home directory if you choose. As such, you will need to adjust the path accordingly. Full paths are necessary, right? In my testing, I found full paths worked best, but they are not strictly required in all cases. It really depends on your environment. To avoid confusion, though, I chose to use full paths both to be as specific as possible and to make sure it was clear what paths I had hard-coded. - C:// becomes /mnt/c in cmd scripts? Not as a strict rule, no. It all depends on what context you are talking about. If you need to reference a Windows-based path from the WSL environment, then you can use the default mount point of /mnt/c for C:\. (Any other drive letters should have equivalent mount points.) The built-in command `/bin/wslpath` can be useful for converting between Linux-centric and Windows-centric paths. I am only using it, however, as a convenient means to convert the paths LilyPond embeds in the PDF. That said, remember that the command script executes within Windows, so *it* needs to use Windows-based paths. Case in point, note that the command to launch WSL itself uses its Windows path. There is a lot of back-and-forth between Windows and WSL in the approach I outlined. Understandably, there can be confusion. On reflection, I was too terse in my email. But to be honest, I did not expect many people would run with the idea.

Indeed, there's a standard simple way to allow unsigned applications and this is normal for OS X, and has been for some time (although it is slightly hidden). I can confirm this continues to work at the current OS X version 10.13 High Sierra. The technique is mentioned above. No need to delete Mac from the supported systems.

Hi, Maybe some reassuring information. I am a Mac OS user. I usually work on a MacBook Pro under Mac OSX 10-9-5 (Mavericks) but I also still have a rather ancient iMac, with El Capitan. I just copied Frescobaldi, Lilypond 2-18-2-1, LilyPond 2-19-81 and TeXShop, with its LilyPond-Engines, to this latter Mac and found that they all worked perfectly. So it seems that it is no reason (yet) to strike off MacOSX from the list of platforms we need to support.

Hello Zone, No such problem on my machine, but my Mac OS is more recent (10.13.5). Go to System Preferences, where you can allow unsigned applications. In the most recent versions, you’ll find there a button to specifically allow the last application that didn’t launch for security reasons. HTH!

You're guessing right.
And where I got it - who knows ... If I'd written it from scratch I wouldn't
have called the variables emacs :-) so obviously I found it somewhere, but
never mind that.
My problem now is that SwiftDefaultApps silently fails to set this as the
textedit target, possibly because my info.plist is too old (it has worked in
the past):
This is the info.plist of which application? Eddie?
No, of the helper app. Back when I did this that was a (the?) way to tell the
OS that this app handled the textedit URI, but now that I've tested some more
it appears that it isn't necessary (anymore?) - I could just create a new
AppleScript app and add it in SwiftDefaultApps (I'm not sure exactly what I did
to make the adding work though, and I'm not totally convinced that
SwiftDefaultApps is bug-free).
One thing I had to change in the script was quoting, see below. I removed the
backslash from the space and replaced %2b with an actual plus, because I have
one in my path. It's possible that there's some more generic way to translate
from the URL encoding, but now it works for me. (And by works I mean that the
editor is open with the cursor at the selected note.)
... and then I had to override the security setting for Eddie so it was allowed
to be started (it is not created by an 'identified developer').

Can you be more specific?
What do you mean with "it works"?
Which command did you assign for textedit protocol?
Yesterday I read a similar answer and installed RVDefaultApp. Now I
can set which application should open textedit:// URIs.
However I cannot set the text editor directly, as the text editor
cannot handle this protocol.
I guess I should use lilypond-invoke-editor but, as I've already
reported, I could not make it work on either Mac or Windows.
It looks like it's the last step to get what I want.
OK, then you are in more or less the same situation as me - you need
a small helper app that takes the URI and invokes your editor.
I have a small AppleScript app which does this (I think I got the
base for it from the LilyPond site ages ago):
Ok, good to know there may be a solution.
I don't have a Mac to test it until Wednesday/Thursday, but I will make
a try this week.

As the syntax is not Emacs, I guess that Eddie is the editor you want

Have you tried other text editors?
You may try Atom (see atom.io website). Its syntax (not yet documented)
is the same as above example: `atom file:line:column`.

Re: Interactive PDF Link to Notes in Preview
Click-to-View was such a valuable feature. I could click on notes, chord symbols or lyrics, and the URI link would open the correct .ly file and highlight the exact text-code. (My oldest files date from 2009. I've been enjoying this feature a long time, and really miss it.) This was with Mac OS 10.8.6 (Mountain Lion). I upgraded last month to OS 11 (El Capitan) I would be interested to know how other users make corrections to the scores they have typeset. I am not enjoying the need to read through all the text to fix wrong notes and typos. (I have many!) Switching to Skim or another PDF viewer is a logical suggestion. I would appreciate hearing from any users who who can verify whether the URIs properly. I suspect Apple is now suppressing any links and scripts embedded in PDFs for security reasons.

since it has no file extension, Windows cannot invoke an associated

Re: Interactive PDF Link to Notes in Preview
Hi Anders, Federico, F: Not Notes. No such thing I have seen. You probably mean TextEdit, the basic standard supplied text editor. It's been a while since I used my Mac for lilypond, so I can't remember, but I think any text editor could be made to work. Since it now cannot due to Apple's decision (why do they keep reducing functionality?) it is no longer relevant. A: You can get tab completion plugins for PowerShell if you hunt around. Also, as mentioned, Skim works for this purpose last time I used it. https://skim-app.sourceforge.io/ Andrew On 6 July 2018 at 02:57, Anders Eriksson wrote: > > > On 2018-07-05 18:30, Federico Bruni wrote: > >> If I type lilypond and then hit TAB, it's not in the available commands >> > > ON windows the Tab completion only "sees" programs in the current > directory or if you already have entered a path, the directory the path is > pointing to. > > So if you don't get an completion then there isn't any program that begins > with 'lilypond' in the directory > > // Anders > > ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Interactive PDF Link to Notes in Preview
Hi Zone, For some reason I can't see your original post anymore. Anyway, since somebody mentioned Skim, I now recall there was a length discussion of this exact same topic in the list a while ago. It would be worth you while to look at the archives. I do sometimes use a Mac, and I do also now recall that Apple removed that functionality in Preview in Sierra, so nothing can be done to fix it. Skim seems to be one good solution. But how about Frescobaldi?

Re: Interactive PDF Link to Notes in Preview
Hello, After a recent upgrade to my computer, the function that links music notes (and lyrics) in the PDF viewer, to the text in the Lilypond files, has stopped working. I believe the since Mac Os Sierra came around, Apple has discontinued the ability for users to click notes on the music in Preview. I ran in to the same problem a while back. So, I have been using the app called Skim that works with note clicking. -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Yes, it's possible that LilyPond application for Mac may become incompatible with recent Mac versions. Please keep the list in Cc, as I'm not a Mac user and cannot help you. Il giorno gio 5 lug 2018 alle 9:02, Zone Dremik ha scritto: I am not using a text editor at all. For the last nine years, I have been running the Lilypond application through the standard Macintosh GUI. I have never needed to use any command line functions, or interact with any helper scripts or apps. (I don't actually see any other process running other than the Lilypond app). The app has always created, saved, and compiled the files containing the lilypond code ( with .ly extension). When the output PDF is created, Lilypond communicates with the operating system to open the PDF in the Apple Brand PDF viewer called PREVIEW. Clicking the notes in preview would normally cause the corresponding .ly file to open in Lilypond, with the specific code highlighted within the text. It has worked beautifully all these years, through several Mac system upgrades. However, I see from the Lilypond download page that the most recent system support is for Mac OS 10.4, while the current system is up to OS 13.0 is it possible that Lilypond is becoming incompatible with Apple products?

I am using Lilypond Version 2.18.2-1 Apple Macintosh System 10.11.6 Apple Preview Version 8.1 (877.7) Nothing has changed in lilypond 2.18.2-1, you have to configure your system to handle the textedit links lilypond inserts in the pdf.
