Hey, that’s great timing!

Ok, thanks!  Something to consider for geany and gedit:

They both have highlighting for c++, .css, and .py files, 
gedit also has it for .scm, .itexi, .itely, and .make files, 
but geany doesn’t have it for these.
(And neither has it for .ly files.)

It's definitely better.  The comment in fixcc.py is pretty insistent that it 
only works with astyle 2.02 so I think we'll need a tracker issue for updating 
fixcc.py to work with astyle 2.04 (but at least upgrading should be easier than 
downgrading).

Thanks for all your work on LilyDev,
-Paul
