This are great news!
I really like the general behaviour of LilyPad (and it runs much  
better than jEdit+LilyTool on my Mac).

Some small requests (perhaps everything done already):
- save default size & position of windows (I want editor & preview  
side by side)
- line numbering in editor window!
- please make completion switchable (I find it very nasty in most  
editors, because it gets in your way, swallows keys, slows down  
typing etc.)
- run convert-ly
- switch off auto-preview temporarily (without going to the prefs)
- increase/decrease indent of marked lines using tab/shift-tab (the  
actual keys don't work on every int'l keyboard)
- the MIDI player doesn't understand speed settings (but I guess  
that's beyond your scope)

Regarding auto-preview:
It's really a nice feature, but doesn't yet behave "just right".
I'd like to start it with every "save" (or after the delay) and then  
run through (but stoppable), regardless what I type in the meantime.
For it's not possible to just preview the part I work at, that would  
show my progress better than if I must stop typing to see anything.
Perhaps you can make that behaviour configurable, too.
