how to install LilyPond Mode plugin in jEdit?
Hi folks, I'm trying to help a friend of mine get started with LilyPond, and the easiest way I've found to do my .ly editing is via jEdit. So I had her install that, as well as LilyPond. But I can't seem to find out how to install the LilyPond Mode plugin. Can anyone help here? It's been several years and several versions since I did it, and we can't seem to get together on this. I know I have issues with web navigation on my stupidly slow dial-up, and perhaps that's part of it. But my friend seems to have about the fastest web available (NYC area), so it shouldn't be a problem for her. So please, just give me step-by-step instructions for jEdit, and I'll relay them to her.

If you've installed the latest jEdit version (assuming that Java is already installed on the computer, otherwise jEdit won't even run): - open jEdit - Plugins menu > Plugin Manager - "install" tab : wait until the list is displayed, then select "LilyPondTool" and click on "install" Once LilyPondTool is installed: - Plugins menu > Plugin Options - In LilyPondTool > General, check if the path to the LilyPond program is correct (and optionally add a correct path to a PDF reader). - In Sidekick > General, check "Parse on keystroke" Now open any .ly file or save a new file with the .ly extension, the LilyPondToolBar should appear.
