I've also had some extensive looks at the elisp-code and what I think that the lilypond syntax-table is supposed to accomplish is to provide different font-locking for different parts of the .ly file. The lyrics should get different font-locking from the notes, etc. Unfortunately, this does not seem to work as in lyrics like `a nice foo bar', the `a' gets font-locked as the note `a' and the rest doesn't get font-locking. It also does define the parentheses to be normal characters, so functions like beginning-of-defun (C-M-a) and backward-sexp (C-M-b) and their functional opposites don't work. Also it prevents the blinking of parentheses. Unfortunately, all of the above doesn't bother me enough to do something about it ;-) But if you can make LilyPond-mode work like it should[1], you have my vote! > In addition <Tab> doesn't auto-complete but rather indents the current > line... In all the gnu-emacsen I've used (19 - 22) this is the default key-binding. HTH, Arjan [1] It should do the emacs thing when it comes to parentheses, but it should also do context-based font-locking. I do have a sample-file lying around somewhere, where I use a function to determine the font-locking a word receives. Perhaps something similar could be done here? See <http://zaaf.nl/emacs/beatnik.html> for font-locking based on the scrabble value of a word. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
