It appears that Archlinux has moved to Xpdf version 4, whereas Debian uses version 3. I don't know why urlCommand has been removed, but maybe the Arch lists/forums/wiki might help. Nor do I know how or whether LP's textedit URL's would be workable with "launch"-type links mentioned in that forum and in xpdf's documentation. > The problem seems more with xfce, where a textedit: click invokes both > exo-open and xdg-open. I can't figure out how either of them handle URLs Then it sounds as if XFCE's browser honours LP's URLs. I read that exo-open is specific to XFCE, so you'd presumably configure that one, and leave the other unconfigured. OTOH if you can't find exo-open's documentation, then at least LP documents xdg-open in the Usage manual. > setting LYEDITOR to geary or atom doesn't help. I don't remember the outcome in the atom discussion (concerning the line/column arguments). You can study the invocations about 90% through lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/editor.scm (substitute your path elements). But the problem seems to be morphing. > I'll try Gnome if I'm on my own with xfce4 Sorry, I can't keep up. The last iteration of my experience is given in these posts. Their references and follow-ups have other experiences that might differ from mine, and even be more applicable to your case(s). Just pick and choose what information you need. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-10/msg00639.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-11/msg00037.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-11/msg00038.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-11/msg00062.html And there was also a thread in March 2019, which IIRC concerned itself mainly with the interaction of point-and-click with apparmor. Cheers, David.
