Re: Question regaring editor / debugger idea

[David Brandon]

I've started on a language reference.  You can take a look at what I've 
got so far.  See attached.  It's not much but it's a start.  Also, look 
in the files in /usr/local/share/lilypond/<version>/ly (or as 
appropriate for your system).  A lot of stuff is in there.
