Re: Re:A new freeware LilyPond editor for Windows (Thibaut Chevalier)
Hi Anders,I think you should tell conText to use Unicode. This can be done via the menu Options Environment options... Editor. Under Default settings for a new document set File format to Unicode. Existing files can be converted with Tools Convert Text To... Unicode. Good luck!

Re: A new freeware LilyPond editor for Windows
Quoting Rick Hansen (aka RickH) [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Thanks, this highlighter is making my work easier too and increased my understanding of how lp language works. One question : Do you know how to use convert-ly under windows ? Is this a separate program I cannot find or it is a command to add with lilypond(-windows).exe I did not find ? The doc is only dealing with unix or Mac. I have not had the need for conversion yet because my scores worked fine the last time I upgraded. It is a command line just like lp, see section 12.3 of the current manual. Make sure you've backed-up your files before conversion Why? If you use convert-ly -e myfile.ly then a backup of the original will be saved under the name myfile.ly~ and that the version number is present in the files you are converting. Otherwise, you have to use the --from flag of convert-ly. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: A new freeware LilyPond editor for Windows
Thanks for the information, I have just downloaded ConTEXT and installed your highlighting file and user commands and everything is working very nice. I had endless problems with jEdit so I am glad you told about ConTEXT. I also find ConTEXT far better, particularly to access the different opened files (with the explorer on the left or the tabs). One question : Do you know how to use convert-ly under windows ? Is this a separate program I cannot find or it is a command to add with lilypond(-windows).exe I did not find ? The doc is only dealing with unix or Mac. And one suggestion : You should add in your text at the top of the .chl file to turn on the option : Capture console output for the compile user key (F9...), else we don't know what happens (because the windows console auto-close at the end of the compilation). Anyway thanks very much for your work on the highlighting !Thibaut.On 24/07/06, Rick Hansen (aka RickH) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Hello,I just created and uploaded a syntax highlighting file for the ConTEXT editor.www.context.cxhttp://www.context.cx http://www.context.cxLook in the forum section for the highlighting file I uploaded and some instructions at the top for setting up the Function keys to do compiles,views, midi, etc.After using jEdit for a while I found ConTEXT to be far, far, far superioron the Windows platform.ConTEXT editor is light and very fast, whereby jEdit would take 30 seconds or more to open large or many files (over 1meg).(But Java apps generally do run slow on Windows.)Also the jEdithighlighter misses a lot of reserved words.I have included every LilyPond user-public reserved word I can find through version 2.8.5.Also it will highlight imbedded Scheme code separatelymaking LP proper much easier to read and keep separated from Scheme.Italso separates Context objects from Layout objects, hilights strings, comments, markup commands, properties, action words like \set and \overridedifferently, etc.I came up with several thousand LP reserved words andcategorized them all, I also tested this hilighter with all the LP regression and input files.The only minor highlighting glitch I found with ConTEXT is that stringending quotes cannot be on a line by themselves (they must end the stringimmediately, or if they are on their own line they must be preceeded with a space and not the carriage return)Other than that, this editor is prettysimple and pretty darn good at hilighting LP syntax.I've also had about100 files open simultaneously with no performance problems in it.

A new freeware LilyPond editor for Windows
Hello, I just created and uploaded a syntax highlighting file for the ConTEXT editor. www.context.cx http://www.context.cx http://www.context.cx Look in the forum section for the highlighting file I uploaded and some instructions at the top for setting up the Function keys to do compiles, views, midi, etc. After using jEdit for a while I found ConTEXT to be far, far, far superior on the Windows platform.

Also the jEdit highlighter misses a lot of reserved words. I have included every LilyPond user-public reserved word I can find through version 2.8.5.
