after installing LilyPond on Windows you'll find the following entries in the registry:
HKCR\textedit URL protocol REG_SZ 09.04.2013 22:58:01 1 HKCR\textedit\shell REG_SZ open 09.04.2013 22:58:01 5 HKCR\textedit\shell\open\command REG_EXPAND_SZ "C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\guile.exe" -e main -s "C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-invoke-editor.scm" "%1" 09.04.2013 22:58:01 137 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\textedit URL protocol REG_SZ 09.04.2013 22:58:01 1 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\textedit\shell REG_SZ open 09.04.2013 22:58:01 5 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\textedit\shell\open\command REG_EXPAND_SZ "C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\guile.exe" -e main -s "C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-invoke-editor.scm" "%1" 09.04.2013 22:58:01 137 obviously LilyPond simply wants guile.exe to run with the above parameters (and this doesn't work) after running the registration script for windows (see http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Point-and-Click-does-not-work-on-Windows-tt115986.html#none) (with Notepad++ uncommented) this changes to HKCR\textedit URL protocol REG_SZ 09.04.2013 23:03:20 1 HKCR\textedit REG_SZ URL:textedit Protocol 09.04.2013 23:03:20 22 HKCR\textedit\shell REG_SZ open 09.04.2013 22:58:01 5 HKCR\textedit\shell\open\command REG_SZ "C:\myProgs\ly\textedit\textedit.bat" "%1" 09.04.2013 23:03:20 43 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\textedit URL protocol REG_SZ 09.04.2013 23:03:20 1 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\textedit REG_SZ URL:textedit Protocol 09.04.2013 23:03:20 22 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\textedit\shell REG_SZ open 09.04.2013 22:58:01 5 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\textedit\shell\open\command REG_SZ "C:\myProgs\ly\textedit\textedit.bat" "%1" 09.04.2013 23:03:20 43 the question is how do we get the default .ly editor from the registry and if there is one how do we get its (the editors) specification for line- and column-number specification - probably this has to go through a table (created and maintained by LilyPond) with the fields [key] application/editor [fields] line column. hope this brings us nearer to a solution Eluze -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/point-and-click-implementation-tp144248.html Sent from the Bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
