Hello Lilypond-Friends,
I found a wonderful editor to write and performe Lilypond in
Windows-Systems. He is called Context and can be found at:
http://www.context.cx/
Context is a relative new programmers editor and freeware. The
advantages are
1. You can use the known Windows-Shortcuts to work (not all
editors do that)
2. You can write an own highlightersyntax-file to highlight the
Lilypond-commands 3. You can launch Lilypond from the editor
with function keys, means, you can make your PDF and start
the midi-file
4. When launching you have a control window to see mistakes and
you can correct them pronto in the named line.
If you want to launch your program, go to "Options,
Environment" and "Execute Keys". Push "ADD" and write in the
popup-entryfield the ending "ly". Then mark a function key
(like F9) and write in the entryfield "Execute" your lilypond
path and a following "%n". May be this is your entry:
D:\music\lilypond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe %n
Make a tick in "Capture Console output" to have a
compilercontrol in your editorwindow. The percent-entry behind
lilypond.exe calls your loaded programm. You don't need to save
your last writings (but the filename must exist).
With another function key you can call another program. Mark
another function key and write in the Execute-Entryfield:
%F.pdf (calls your PDF-Reader and loads )
%F.midi (calls your Midi-Player)
That's all.
If you compile, you push F9.
If you want to see your notes, you only push your defined
function keys to see and hear your composing results. With
ALT+TAB you are back in your editor and you can go on without
leaving and new loading your ly-file.
I think Context is a wonderful alternative to the complicated
editors emacs and vim.
And I think of course, lilypond is a wonderful program and has wonderful
creative developers!
Thanks and greetings from germany!
