Yeah, I think Ctrl-I as in re-indent the selected part was a LilyPondTool/jEdit thing. Speaking of confusing shortcuts: Ctrl-D used to mean comment this line (that's the default in Kate I think), now it means Delete - I've inadvertently lost a few lines because of that :-) To keep Frescobaldi simple its indenting defaults to the LilyPond-recommended way of indenting. But you can override the behaviour by placing document variables in the document (see manual-editor-document variables). Wow. Wouldn't have thought of that. I put much love in the PDF view to make it better than the old one (I hope ;-) You can copy images: drag a square with the right button or Shift-left button, and then choose Copy to Image in the context menu or the Edit menu. It even copies images in a specified DPI setting, instead of the current scale! You can drag both the image or the image's file, and also specify the antialiasing, background color (which in the Copy to Image dialog defaults to white :-) and whether to auto-crop the image. OK. I had missed the menu entry. And did you notice the magnifying glass? Ctrl+Click in the Music View! I did not. I only used Ctrl-mousewheel (it wouldn't have occured to me ;) The old pdf view did not support finding point and click objects (due to Okular limitations), but the new one has: Ctrl+J highlights the object the text cursor is at. Yes, that must be the most welcome new feature. Plus, since I rarely have a mouse (I'm running ratpoison these days), I've come to realize that Frescobaldi can be easily be controlled with the keyboard only! I tried to make the config pages simple and not too crowded. But I think an 'Editor' page is needed, with settings related to editing behaviour, indenting etc. That's what I'd be expecting to see, indeed. Please take a look at the snippets manager, it is quite powerful and also powers the File-New from template menu. It has support for python scripts as well and some nice default snippets. A larger library could be put on the Frescobaldi website. Yeah, I should consider using it for quick tuplets and stuff. There is: see www.frescobaldi.org/download . The Windows installer works very well! I have no Mac to test and build a Mac installer. But users are using Frescobaldi on Mac OS X and it works. Cool. I hope to see a Mac application available for download soon! Yes there are many French translators, and I can't see which which translations are the best. It would be nice if someone with good understanding of LilyPond and Frescobaldi and translating desktop applications could 'govern' the French translation :-) Well, I'd be happy to :-) Keep up the good work!

(Still can't find it in 2.0.2, it must be a recent addition.) It is, go to LilyPond Preferences and set Save If Possible. Oh, yet another thing Wilbert had already thought of. (I had seen this option but didn't quite understand it before.) - the PDF preview offers less features than before (thanks to the kpdf component I could just select an area with the right-button and copy it as an image). I can do that with current version. I stand corrected. (I guess I hadn't even tried as soon as I saw it wasn't KDE's PDF component anymore...) Are we talking about the same program? There's been a Windows port for a time now. I gave a talk for my colleagues and installed Fresco+Lily in minutes for all. Nice. (Wilbert should definitely provide self-contained Lily+Fresco bundles, that has the potential to be a huge success!)

Re: [Frescobaldi] Re: ANN: Frescobaldi 2.0.4
Hi all, Thanks go to Valentin for taking the time for a consise first review :-) Here are some answers to questions and additions. Also note that F2 is only one year old and should be developed further, I think it has a very solid code foundation right now with Python and Qt4. :) Op Tue, 13 Mar 2012 20:07:41 +0100 Valentin Villenave valen...@villenave.net schreef: - aesthetically speaking, the difference is huge and the interface looks a lot less pretty (pinkish background in the PDF preview: wtf?). This can be adjusted (of course :-) although I'm all in favor of a better default value! - the source code window sports less pleasant colors (plain blue/red/black instead of KDE's pastel tones). The default colors can be changed. I based my colors on the KDE ones, but I probably used to have a different color scheme in KDE :-) There is theme support for the color scheme. But I probably should implement importing/exporting schemes, so some nice color schemes could make it to the Frescobaldi website! - the search function is now just that: no searchreplace. There is Edit-Replace. It also support regular expressions and replacing in the selection. - no more tabs on the side and the bottom: making frames appear/disappear is a lot less intuitive: you have to **close** frames, not merely **hide** them (I was used to hiding the log window, but closing it makes less sense to me -- sure, I could just use the keyboard shortcut but then I'd have to learn it first ;-) Yes the tabs were nice, but the Qt-provided dock widgets are more flexible in layout: you can drag the tools in rows or columns, or drop one tool on another to make a tabbed tool view. - no more terminal frame (unlike LilyPondTool, where the log window may be used as a terminal emulator). There is a command Tools-Open Command Prompt that opens a terminal window in the correct directory. But a built-in console could be implemented, maybe even combining a operating system shell and a Python shell to test new Frescobaldi features. - no more integrated file browser (the documents frame isn't half as useful) A filebrowser would certainly be nice. Currently I just use Ctrl+O :) and also the Sessions menu. - the new Compile but don't save behavior is quite surprising (and I've found myself loosing more than one score because of it). I'm not saying it's bad or absurd, it's just unexpected (and should be optional IMO). This behaviour is the same as in Frescobaldi 1, but you can force Frescobaldi to save a document first by checking the Save document if possible option in the LilyPond preferences. This saves the document if it is modified and has already a filename. - the intelligent-indenting awesomeness now looks a bit less intelligent. (Where's my Ctrl-I?) Tab and Shift-tab handle the indent, Ctrl+I inserts a plain Tab. To keep Frescobaldi simple its indenting defaults to the LilyPond-recommended way of indenting.

The old pdf view did not support finding point and click objects (due to Okular limitations), but the new one has: Ctrl+J highlights the object the text cursor is at. - the MIDI player looks gorgeous (but I never use it). It has some nice features: it displays the current measure number and the time. You can quickly find music by dragging the timer knob. - the Preferences window has more colors and icons, but somehow feels less complete (a lot of the old one was Kate's preferences, where you could fine-tune your level of indenting, etc.) I tried to make the config pages simple and not too crowded. But I think an 'Editor' page is needed, with settings related to editing behaviour, indenting etc. That being said, there still are a lot of nice touches and afterthoughts that embody the Frescobaldi spirit and show how generously and intelligently you care about your users' every need or whim: snippets, special chars, run LilyPond with English messages, etc. It's so brillantly thought it's disarming.

Replying to self: Frescobaldi 1.2 had no filebrowser; you probably are thinking of the Kate filebrowser back in the old days when LilyKDE (Frescobaldi's predecessor) was a Kate plugin. But I have been thinking of adding a fileview of the current document's directory, where clicking a .LY file would open it, and clicking PDF's or MIDI's would open them. This would ease dragging files out of Frescobaldi. Although you can also drag the PDF or MIDI just by dragging the icon from the toolbar or MIDI player. -- Wilbert Berendsen (http://www.wilbertberendsen.nl) ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
