Re: software for syllable separation

[Eduardo Vieira]

Thank you, Bertalan.
I think what you presented is just what I was looking for. I said, "think"
because I couldn't test it. I put the file
hyphenate.bsh in the folder macros, as you instructed. But when I run the
macro, there appear a dialog box to select the language but there is no
language listed in. So nothing happens. How do I tell jEdit to find the
dictionary or language information?
I'm using Windows Me and my Open Office dictionary is located in C:\Arquivos
de Programas\OpenOffice.org 1.9.122\share\dict\ooo\
jEdit is installed in C:\Arquivos de Programas\

It looks good to me, because I want to use it for Lilypond, anyway. When I
need it for typesetting abc files, I
can run a "search and replace":
