I tried it, but it didn't work. The reason may be that Lilypond sets up a complex chain of events for point-and-click, which sends messages to a browser, then to some Lilypond entity entity (I'm being vague here because I don't understand the details) which responds via two Win32 environment variables specifying the editor to be used. So getting it to work may have to involve that lilypond machinery.

Hi there, I've done a bit of digging, and have found the following under XP: http://www.stevecooper.org/blog wrote: Registering a new protocol When I click, my browser opens my editor, which then gets the file from my FTP server. I can edit in a nice editor, then hitting ctrl-s saves the file back up onto the web server. How do you trigger your system to load files from an FTP server? You register a new url protocol. Your system knows how to deal with address prefixes like http: and ftp: and mailto:. http loads in your web browser, mailto in your email program. No reason why you can’t make up your own, though. I’ve registered textedit: as a new protocol. My site has links like this in it; textedit:ftp(0):/running_a_text-file_wiki.text If you’re using Windows, add this key to your registry; [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\textedit] 'URL Protocol' = '' [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\textedit\DefaultIcon] (default) = 'Notepad.exe' [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\textedit\Shell\open\command] (default) = 'C:\blah\editplusweb.cmd %1' That registers the ‘textedit’ protocol, and sends everything after ‘textedit:’as a command-line parameter to the script listed. Here’s that script (C:\blah\editplusweb.cmd); @echo off set address=%1 set app=C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\Editplus.exe FOR /F tokens=1* delims=: %%a IN (%address%) DO set arg=%%b set cmd=@%app% %arg% %cmd% The only line that’s really hairy is the FOR /F line. God knows what it does. I wrote it ages ago, but it works. I think it’s some obscure escaping thing. I use editplus, which is good, and cheap. If you want to trial the idea, I think the freeware PSPad can do it. So by editing the textedit protocol in the registry, you can grab the file:line:column from Acrobat. I have no idea how to get PSPad to jump to a given line:column from a script, though.

Re: PSPad: a Lily-friendly editor for Windows
Citando madhg [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I used to use Crimson for writing lilypond. Excellent for small projects, less convenient for a large project with one main file to be compiled and several other files contaning the music for individual staves. I can now recommend another editor, PSPad, which like Crimson is a general programmer's editor and useful for Lilypond. * freeware * supports compilation, viewing compiler output, and parsing the output to jump to a line in the source file which produces an error or warning * [This is what made me move from Crimson to PSPad] supports projects in which you can specify a Main file, so that when you press the button to compile, lilypond is run on the main file that you have specified, even if you are currently working on a different file (for instance, if you have the music for different staves held in individual files) * support for UTF-8, so accented characters are handled easily * syntax highlighting; I attach a PSPad highlighter file for lilypond * configurable keyboard shortcuts, so you can set up keys for compiling, and for viewing the result in GSView or other viewers. PSPad is Windows only, available from http://www.pspad.com/ There are many editors, and I don't want to start an argument about whether X is better than Y. Just to point interested users to one that has a broadly similar style to Crimson but has an extra feature that saves me a lot of trouble. And is freeware.

Can you use point-and-click features with this editor? * put the file into the Syntax subfolder of the PSPad application folder (usually in C:\Program Files) * Open PSPad * In the Settings menu open Highlighters Settings * Get a dialog with a list of programming languages etc. in a left-hand pane. * There will probably be an item called Lilypond. If not, go to the items at the end labelled not assigned, check the checkbox and highlight that line There will be various things to be done next, I forget exactly what, try the program help, and if no luck, email me (but I'm away Sunday-Tuesday) * In the Compiler tab for the Lilypond syntax: - in Compiler enter the path of the lilypond executable - in Parameters enter %Name% or maybe %Name%.ly (I run lilypond via a batchfile which requires only the %Name% without extension - in Default Directory enter %Dir% - check all 3 checkboxes - in LOG Parser enter %F:%L:%C (that enables automatic jumping to an error-producing line in your lilypond code - very nice! * In the External Applications tab enter C:\Programs\gs\Ghostgum\gsview\gsview32.exe %Name%.pdf for Ghostview (obviously you may have a different path) and/or similar for Acrobat * In the colours tab you can choose the highlighting colours. To set your own keyboard shortcuts, choose Program Settings in the Settings menu, go to the last item, Key Map, look in the File menu item settings, you should find Compile and Acrord and/or Ghostview, double-click to enter a new shortcut (can use Ctrl+shift+Z etc. if you want).
