Hi David,
Funny, I have been using vi since it was invented by Bill Joy. Quite some
time. (!) But I always use emacs, and I have to say I had never heard of
gvim before this exercise. So it's a learning exercise for me to come to
grips with the vast machinery of gvim. Here's something I found. Jus

Only because emacs is failing me in lilypond mode - the initial cause of
all this madness. I can't figure that out. Frescobaldi on Debian 9 is
taking over ten seconds to position the cursor in a 60 page string quartet,
and now emacs is coming up a close second. When the editors are so
unresponsive

Mysteries untangling. Kevin has been very insightful. It appears lilypond
uses emacs if it finds nothing set. I never would have thought of that. Not
only does this explain the behaviour, but it explains why I was going nuts
as well.
Next. GNOME apps like Nautilus start under Xsession, before shel
It's more subtle than that. LYEDITOR is heeded but EDITOR is not. I'd wager
that's a bug.
But the plot thickens now. Running evince from the terminal, it at least
tries to use gvim via LYEDITOR. If I run the PDF from Nautilus, the GNOME
file viewer, nothing happens. Somehow Nautilus is unable to s

On MacOS, I have in .basrc 'source ~/.profile', because xterm is usi
Current progress. Perhaps I have hit a bug on Debian 9, hence the bonkers

Here's what I have for LYEDITOR, based on the NR:
export LYEDITOR='gvim --remote +:%(line)s:norm
Where are you setting EDITOR to gvim? Is it possible that you have set it
somewhere like bashrc or bash_profile that would be picked up by bash, but
maybe not by Gnome? I can't remember where to modify Gnome's environment so
my question may be stupid.

Bonkers.
I removed all instances of emacs from the Debian 9 system and purged my
.cache directory.
Lilypond-invoke-editor still insists on running emacsclient. EDITOR is set
to gvim. Gvim is gvim - its not set to an alternate to emacs or anything
silly like that.

Well now I am officially going nuts. I used Frescobaldi for years until it
recently slowed down to unacceptably ling editor response times (tens of
seconds to position the cursor, in only 20 pages of code). This was
discussed on the list. Not yet resolved. Needs work.
So I happily moved over to e
