Hello, I type my lily scores in GNU Emacs. Having done a `M-x describe-mode', I found the `C-c i' facility (LilyPond-quick-note-insert) very interesting. Inspirated by this feature, I wrote a lilypond-quick-insert-mode, derived from lilypond-mode, which behaves a bit like LilyPond-quick-note-insert, with some little differences: - a midi sound is played when a note is inserted or modified (requires ALSA, though) - notes are entered first by giving their pitch, then they are eventually modified by giving duration, alteration, dots, octave etc, ie in the other way LilyPond-quick-note-insert works. Each key stroke actually modify the buffer, output is not defered. - as it is a mode, rather than a basic key-listening loop, other lilypond or general key bindings also work. - all the languages (dutsch, italian, german, ...) that I found in the documentation are provided. - choice is given between relative and absolute octaves (although I don't know if this is really usefull). and few other things. you switch from regular lilypond-mode to lilypond-quick-insert-mode by typing `C-c q' for instance, and then back to lilypond-mode by pressing `q'.
Anyway, as it works for me, it might interest other emacs users. Here it is: http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/lilypond/ best regards, nicolas _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
