Almost. Specifications of the guile indenting tool: - indent scheme exactly as emacs does it. (if there's disagreement between different versions of emacs, then maybe pick one? I don't know about this) - provide a command-line method of doing the indentation which fits into our source repository and does not require the user to install 50 MB of software packages (i.e. emacs). I believe that Carl's script is 95% of the way there, so editing that is almost certainly the way to go. However, it is theoretically possible that it would be less work to find the emacs lips indentation .elisp file, translate that from elisp to guile[1] then add a command-line interface to those macros. I'm not sufficiently familiar with translating between lisp dialects, nor the emacs source code, to judge if the latter method might be a reasonable way to proceed. [1] why oh why does the main GNU editor not use the "official extension language for the GNU operating system"?? Whichever method you choose, we would like to review the modified script before it's pushed. We have new guidelines (IIRC from February?) for this process: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/contributor/summary-for-experienced-developers Once the script has been pushed to staging, you (or I) can run it on all .scm and push that directly to staging as well.
