Re: Point & Click with Atom

[Martín Rincón Botero]

Dear Henning,

thank you for your answer. I don't think I understand correctly. I open a terminal and type export LYEDITOR=atom, hit Enter and then write something like lilypond myfile.ly? If it works (I just tried that and it didn't), I add the export line to .bashrc and then follow the steps in the Manual for Gnome 3 (I'm using Ubuntu 18.04)?

The usage manual http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.20/Documentation/usage/configuring-the-system-for-point-and-click says to "simply" write this line export LYEDITOR=atom, but doesn't say where. After that I suppose I can go to the GNOME 3 steps and follow them, but since those steps don't mention any particular editor, I guess I should first know what to do with said export line.

Try if it works in your shell (e.g. bash) before you call lilypond.

If it works, you should add it to the startup file of your default shell, e.g. .bashrc or .bash_profile
