I'm sorry if I have offended anyone. I certainly didn't mean to be negative about the program, just to point out that (1) it didn't work for me, because of all the java errors I got. As I said, this may not be the fault of Lilypond-mode, but as long as all the nice functions don't work, all I have is a 15 Mb download... - especially since (2) I've found a tool that works perfectly to my satisfaction in emacs/lilypond-mode. This is not to say that other equivalent tools are bad. I did notice the features you mention, and found them very useful, especially the macro/template function, and the error report (although most of the errors I make are 'typos' - writing a wrong note value here and there - which a syntactical error checker will not find). But a lyqi-mode - if you can implement that, that would be a great step forward. (and to continue my previous parenthesis: a great enhancement to the lyqi-mode, or a lyqi-like (lookalike?) mode, would be to have a note following a dotted note automatically set to the next shorter value (e2. > f4) unless it's the basic time unit (in 3/4: e2. > f2.). ) I promise that I'll have another go at jEdit whenever a new version of java comes out for my distro :-) Eyolf -- Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance. -- Sam Brown, "The Washington Post", January 26, 1977 _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
