Re: Use directory-local variables to establish some coding styles in Emacs (issue 6460109)

[Ian Hulin]

Hi John and David,
If you take this on, John, or if David decides to revisit this, can
you add something like this to the detailed description of the issue:

"This patch adds a new file dir-locals.el to the root directory of the
git repository. It is intended for LilyPond developers who use Emacs.

It will not be delivered as part of the Emacs lilypond-mode for
end-users, which is packaged in the repository's elisp subdirectory.

The file enforces standards for emacs users when working on c++,
scheme or texinfo source files anywhere in their local git repository
tree.

This patch is part of a policy to allow LilyPond developers to provide
consistently formatted code in the languages which are used to develop
LilyPond.

This patch was originally developed by David Kastrup."

Cheers,
Ian
