I did a small modification of the file /usr/share/vim/vim81/ftplugin/lilypond.vim -" view pdf with ghostview -map :!gv --watch "%<.pdf" & +" view pdf with evince +map :!evince "%<.pdf" & Evince is the standard PDF viewer for Gnome in Fedora and a more obvious choice than gv (ghostview).

Also since I personally prefer to use *.mid instead of *.midi as default file extension for midifiles and I like to use Timidity with a GUI I did the following modification: " save & make and play midi with timidity -map :w:setl makeprg=lilypond\ \"%<\":make:!timidity "%<.midi" +map :w:setl makeprg=lilypond\ -dmidi-extension=mid\ \"%<\":make:!timidity -ig "%<.mid" " " save & make -map :w:setl makeprg=lilypond\ \"%<\":make +map :w:setl makeprg=lilypond\ -dmidi-extension=mid\ \"%<\":make These are lines that configure what happens if you hit the function keys F4, F5, F6 when using Vim to edit lilypond files. The same plugin files also work when using gvim, the GUI version of vim. At some point I even managed to make Point work (sort of) for the combination Evince + Gvim. If I drag the Evince and Gvim to the left and right borders of the screen a nice split screen is organized that almost can compete with Frescobaldi. And for an experience Vim user this even works better than Frescobaldi. (Don't misunderstand me: Frescobaldi is fantastic, but this thread is about Vim) -- MT ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Tips and Tricks on making Vim a good environment for Lilypond?
I am a lifelong vim user and I cannot imagine any other way
to enter or manipulate text, be it for web pages,
documents (which I create with Latex) or lilypond.
I have looked at Frescobaldi, but once one is fluent
with a Unix editor (which means vim or emacs)
Frescobaldi and other third party tools are
_not_ a time saver.
You ask about workflow though, and apart from
a xterm where I am using vim, a PDF viewer which
automatically reloads an updated file, and a
Makefile, I don't know that there is anything
to offer you.
Here is a tip, which may be obvious to most, but I will
go ahead and list it here. I have a few small
template-files. For example, I mostly write contrapuntal
guitar music, and here is something that I pretty much
use in almost every measure of what I code in lilypond:
<<
{
\voiceOne
}
\context Voice = "vtwo"
{
\voiceTwo
}
>>
\oneVoice
I have the above template in a separate file, we will say
this file is called "v.ly", and when I need this template
I execute in vim:
:r v.ly
You ask about syntax highlighting. I use to get lilypond
syntax highlighting to work in vim by having the following line
in my .vimrc file:
set runtimepath+=/usr/local/share/lilypond/current/vim/
but I see for the last several years, I have had that line
commented out. I think that is because my lilypond installation
automatically puts the correct files in /usr/share/vim/ and so
lilypond syntax highlighting works immediately for me upon a new
OS installation. But then, I use Fedora. What OS do
you work under?

If you’ve installed LilyPond through your distribution’s packages, then the relevant files should have already been put in /usr/share/vim/, e.g. ~: find /usr/share/vim/ -name lilypond* /usr/share/vim/vim81/compiler/lilypond.vim /usr/share/vim/vim81/ftdetect/lilypond.vim /usr/share/vim/vim81/ftplugin/lilypond.vim /usr/share/vim/vim81/indent/lilypond.vim /usr/share/vim/vim81/syntax/lilypond-words /usr/share/vim/vim81/syntax/lilypond-words.vim /usr/share/vim/vim81/syntax/lilypond.vim I remember using LilyPond’s vim mode quite a bit a dozen years ago; syntax highlighting did work but I was not an advanced Vim user enough to take advantage of all the other niceties. Please let us know if you’re happy with it! Cheers, V. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Tips and Tricks on making Vim a good environment for Lilypond?
I'm somewhat new to Vim and just started learning Lilypond, so I was wondering if anyone with more experience might be able to share their experience regarding workflow, plugins you're using, and in general, how you've set up Vim as a comfortable environment for working with Lilypond. Whether it's for snippets, live preview, keybinds, or anything that you've set up in order to have a better visual workspace or to increase your productivity and workflow. By the way, regarding syntax highlighting, Lilypond has it built in for Vim correct? I found this from the Lilypond documentation regarding "vim mode": > filetype off > set runtimepath+=/usr/local/share/lilypond/current/vim/ > filetype on > syntax on Furthermore, the path listed here "/usr/local/share/lilypond/current/vim/", I don't actually have this path. What I have is "/usr/share/lilypond/2.19.82/", but there's no vim folder though. The folders inside 2.19.82 are: fonts, ly, ps, python, scm, tex.
