The full details of the requirements are now clearer. The problem is
easier in my case, since my files and LMS reside on the same system.
For a remote set of files, path prefixes need to be transformed, as per
Roland0's reply. This isn't difficult.
The LMS command line seems to have a rescan for a given path:
>
> rescan <|playlists|external|full singlefolder|?>
>
> The "rescan" command causes the server to rescan the entire music
> library, reloading the music file information. If "playlists" is
> indicated ("rescan playlists"), only the playlist directory is
> rescanned. If "external" is requested, the rescan will be performed
> using the external scanner process instead of the in-process scanner.
> *If "full file://some/path" is defined, then only this path will be
> scanned.* Issued with a "?", "rescan ?" returns if the server is
> currently scanning.
So, it seems possible to have a script / program invoke on an editor on
a (possibly transformed) file path, and upon exit of that app, cause LMS
to rescan that file's folder. Again, I have not tested this workflow.
