Subject: [TeX-Music] Source editing, XP, EDIT, notepad
Maybe this is off topic, but I'm curious to know which text editor
you use when you typeset your TeX, LaTeX, MusiXTeX or PMX sources
when you work under Windows XP.
Personally I'm pretty happy with the good old EDIT, but I foresee
that
EDIT (a 16-bit program) will disappear with future versions of
Windows.
Is there another good, free text editor that has these EDIT's
excellent
features:
- clearly displays the line and row number of the cursor.
- allows to select the character and background color.
Unfortunately Notepad doesn't meet these criteria, despite its
advantage of coping/pasting compatibility with most mailers and
browsers.

This question being off-topic, I dare to give an off-off-topic
answer:
I have been quite happy for years with TSE, which evolved from
Qedit. For details, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_SemWare_Editor
That looks to me to be pretty much what you are looking for -- 2
features, in particular, I find very useful:
* a programming language that allows practically unlimited
customization,
* full copy/paste capability to other Win programs.
I am using TSE 2.8 ; the newest version seems to be TES 4.4 .
*** DRAWBACK *** : TSE evolved from shareware to fully commercial;
It's not exactly cheap, but IMHO well worth the price
(at the moment 99 USD download; special for XTreeWin users 64
USD).
plus: there is, of course, a free `test drive' version (valid
for a limited time, I guess). I suggest you try that before
making up your mind.
Happy New Year with MusixteX !
ccn.
PS: this text was written with TSE 2.8, as integrated into my
WEBmail client (`Alpine') .
