Re: emacs mode test file

[Arjan Bos]

James,

AFAIK there is no such file. Maybe there should be one for regression- 
testing purposes? Perhaps the best way to go is to start with your own  
files and fix all the colouring options.

However, I don't know how familiar you are with the emacs variety of  
lisp, elisp, but as you know lilypond ships with a complete emacs  
mode. You could try to read that in order to re-create it for nano.  
Basically the file lilypond-font-lock.el defines the different levels  
of colouring. Looking at it, the colouring is split into several  
regexp's that evaluate to a face. And a face is basically a colour and  
some other markup on a font.
So you could create an index per font-lock-*-face and check what it  
does. This could give you a head start on what types of syntax get  
which colours.

Oh, and it uses a generated file for the keywords called lilypond- 
words.el. Perhaps you could build on that?

HTH,
Arjan
