Hi, I'm trying to get a tighter integration between emacs-snapshot and xpdf by starting up xpdf in server mode (with the -remote switch, one for each "*.ly" buffer) and kicking the current document rather than restarting a new xpdf process.
Can someone give an advice how to integrate that gracefully into the command-call and customization scheme of lilypond-mode.el? I wrote a function (LilyPond-kick-pdf), which starts a server process for the current buffer if necessary and sends the pdf file to that process, but as far as I can see, the mechanism in the current mode binds customizable strings to the menu which are shell commands rather than binding to elisp functions. Attached is the elisp code for those interested. -- Orm ----------- Begin lilypond-mode.el snippet --------- (defun LilyPond-kick-pdf () (interactive) (let ((buffname (LilyPond-get-master-file)) (pl (process-list))) (unless ; check whether a process named <buffname> exists (catch 'result (while (setq pname (pop pl)) (if (eq pname buffname) (throw 'result t)))) ; start a new xpdf server if process doesn't exist (start-process buffname nil "xpdf" "-remote" buffname)) ; kick pdf (call-process "xpdf" nil nil nil "-remote" buffname (concat (substring (LilyPond-get-master-file) 0 -3) ".pdf") ) )) ----------- End lilypond-mode.el snippet --------- _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
