hi Arnold

I did a few tests:

from the command-line it works perfectly with the short invoke of notepad++
- for that I had to change the lines below in "lilypond-invoke-editor.scm"
to

    ("notepad++" . "notepad++ -n%(line)s -c%(column)s %(file)s") ;;; ok!
    ;("notepad++" . ,(if (eq? PLATFORM 'windows)
    ;  "start c:\\Program Files (x86)2.17.17\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe
-n%(line)s -c%(column)s %(file)s"
    ;  "notepad++ -n%(line)s -c%(column)s %(file)s"))
 
the problem is the space in "C:\program files(x86)\...\notepad++.exe" - I
couldn't find a quick solution how to put the necessary apostrophes.

then I tried the *real* point-and-click from a pdf-file but no success (I
don't know if my registry is broken after all the attempts/changes I made)

it would be interesting to know what entries exactly are needed in the
registry.

it seems the textedit protocol is handled by the (standard) internet browser
- can it be done without?
- if not, what special settings are required there?

thanks for your work!
