I'll scan that, then. I think the best thing to do actually is find out everything that can be stuck between a note pitch and its duration. Its easy to recognize the following note and ignore any garbage in-between a duration (or the location a duration would exist) and the following note, and I'd rather not have to teach what-beat every nuance of Lilypond syntax. > >> * Bind (a safe-variant of) it to '|' (or maybe even RET) > > > > I'll bind it to C-| then. > > O, the curren explicit binding is fine, I just thought an implicit > binding (electric if you like) could be nice: every time you close a > bar | you're told how many beats? Oh, I see. (I never have liked electric chars, so that didn't occur to me.) But an electric | that ran what-beat would serve well, and having C-| explicitly call what-beat (for when you don't want to modify your document) is a good supplement. > > I presume you mean lilypond's emacs mode, right?

I can work on integration today. Heikki, what must I do to what-beat in order to integrate it into emacs-mode? So far, I plan to: -> Improve the note-recognition syntax so that what-beat works with as much as it reasonably can. (I'll document any problems it has.) -> Bind what-beat to C-|, add an electric-what-beat binding to |. -> Include elisp code into lilypond, mail you the diffs. Is that sufficient? NOTE: I am using lilypond 2.2.0...I was more interested in getting work done than in testing experimentatl features...at least I started off that way :) > Jan. > > -- > Jan Nieuwenhuizen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GNU LilyPond - The music typesetter > http://www.xs4all.nl/~jantien | http://www.lilypond.org > -- David Svoboda [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Research Programmer http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~svoboda Language Technologies Institute Practice Kind Randomness and Carnegie Mellon University Beautiful Acts of Nonsense _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
