Frescobaldi, like LilyPond, also runs under Windows.  Even though
Windows 10 is an excellent reason to take the plunge if one hasn't done
so already.

> Second best: http://www.vim.org/download.php/

LilyPond somewhere offers a lilydev VM that can be started under
Windows.  While Cygwin and MSYS offer ways to run UNIX utilities more or
less natively under Windows, there tend to be lots of little problems
and shortcomings that come up whenever you try porting or developing
software.  It is one of the reasons that nobody tries developing
LilyPond natively for Windows.  Instead our Windows offerings are
crosscompiled from GNU/Linux systems.

For the specific case of vi(m), there is a perfectly fine version of
gvim for Windows (this is usually the very first program I install
when I get a new, Windows machine).

If you don't like a modal editor, you may even make it less modal by
using "easy mode" (*) by launching it as "gvim -y". Then it's
more-or-less an enhanced Notepad (but you may still access all of
vi(m)'s power).

(*) (that's the official name BTW, they might as well have called it
"cheat mode enabled")

You can also use the MinGW tools.  http://www.mingw.org/
They are lighter weight (but less comprehensive) than cygwin.

You could also run a VirtualBox virtual machine under Windows with a Linux
environment.

Finally, there is a version of vim for Windows:

Hi all,

Sorry about this hosting issue, it's been fixed. I was attempting to also
change WordPress themes and that backfired so I tabled that idea for now.
Also, I've had a few roadblocks in my life and work which delayed my new
Lilypond series. But they will be uploaded, for sure. I'm really proud of
them and eager to offer them up to the community. Hope all is well with
everyone,

Ben

left offsetting dotted note leaves dot unmoved

2015-10-04 Thread Marten
Hi all,
I'm trying to left offset a dotted note in a CueVoice, but although the 
note is shifted left as expected, the dot is not moved left.
How can I make the dot go left as well?
(I don't want to move the alternative voice to the right, or it would be 
difficultly readable.)
Cheers,
Marten

CODE:

%{
Left offsetting a dotted note leaves dot unmoved
%}

\version "2.18.2"

myMusic = {
<< \voiceOne { g2~ g8[ g] } \new CueVoice = "OddText" {

It's a good tradeoff for touch typists.  The farthest you ever need to
reach is the Escape key (admittedly a longer reach on many keyboards of
today than of vi's creation time) and you don't need to hold down
control for extended times which helps with hand strain, these days a
rather relevant problem with many prolific programmers.

I used vi before Emacs was usefully available and it's a reasonable
deal.  Nowadays a bit harder to discover since current day vi clones and
probably even the original have started to support cursor keys, and not
just that, but also support them in insert mode.

That kind of muddles the underlying concept where forgetting the mode
you were in was not really much of an option since either mode had to
rely on the same keys.
