On OSX, my old Acrobat Pro 9 as well as Adobe Reader 11 try to open LilyPond’s 
"textedit://" links with LilyPad, after asking if they may or should block such 
attempts. So the "security reasons" seem to apply only on Windows (I don’t 
believe that, there are enough security issues open on OSX).
I would like to know if and where I can change that protocol handler 
association.
