It always helps to post exactly what your new options were, and the result they produced. Does gvim complain about the invocating command, for example, or just ignore part of it? If there's a controlling terminal, you could try replacing gvim --remote-silent by echo, to see whether the command option is well-formed. BTW, in your OP, does "not at the correct note" mean the cursor is at the start of the line, or pointing at an incorrect note? (I'm assuming column one would never have a note in it). As I don't run okular (installing it would require 195 other packages), I would suggest you add the word okular into the Subject line, as I know two or three users here use it, though perhaps not exclusively. Cheers, David.
