        That is what I had been tring for two days with no luck (I 
couldn't get the XEDITOR variable showing). Today, the variable works 
(don't know why), but point to click still doesn't.

I can see variable XEDITOR=emacsclient --no-wait +%l %f, but Xdvi still 
fails with 'No editor found - using built-in default (vi)'

I am using : Xdvi version 22.40, Emacs 21.2.1.

        Trying to understand, there is three modifications:
- inserting a line in .ly file: seems to works, as left ctl+click triggers 
the error
- setting XEDITOR. Seems to work to. At least, I can see the variable in a 
shell
- adding (server-start) to .emacs.  If I insert a line in error in .emacs 
(in order to see progress messages), I see:
        [snip]
        Loading 00debian-vars...done
        Loading 50Lilypond (source)...done
        Loading server...done
        [ error message]

Is there any documentation to read about interaction between editor, latex 
dvi, etc...? Any idea?

Thank you
