Please tell me which path could be best for file "lilypond.words"? The
most preferable place found be me was:
/usr/share/dict/lilypond.words
I found that a file containing just the keywords can be read with the
following script (paste to Emacs and invoke at EOL with C-x C-e):
Keywords etc. are in lilypond.words,, which may contain lines (maybe
without '\\'-marks):
\\portato
\\portamento

Then in Emacs it is possible to use that file as basis for completions:
# File name which contains, keywords, identifiers and reserved words
(setq fn "/usr/share/dict/lilypond.words")
# read
(if (file-readable-p fn)
(progn
(setq b (find-file-noselect fn))
(setq m (set-marker (make-marker) 1 (get-buffer b)))
(defun add-dictionary-word (x)
(nconc '(("" . 1)) x))
(setq i 1)
(while (> (buffer-size b) (marker-position m))
(setq i (+ i 1))
(setq copy (copy-alist (list (eval (symbol-name (read m))))))
(setcdr copy i)
(add-dictionary-word (list copy))
)
(add-dictionary-word ())
))
(all-completions "\\por" (add-dictionary-word ()))
Result will be: ("\\portato" "\\portamento")
So completions are possible. The inclusion of a word list would have the
following benefits:
- common word list for emacs and vim
- makes auto-completion possible
- makes lilypond-font-lock.el shorter
and the following withdraw:
- path is different in different os:s (mac, win, etc.) -> os-dep path?
All the spec-files should also be updated if this change takes plase.
Please, comment. I think that autocompletion will come in need. It is very
easy to implement in vim, and not so bad to be implemented in emacs.
