Just wondering.
Is the fact, that a change like this breaks existing editor support for
LilyPond, considered at all?
Well, the original suggestion was that users should name their own
included files with a .ily extension, which can't possibly break
anything (except syntax coloring, which should be easily fixed), but the
proposals Graham is making about changing internal stuff are a different
matter. There wouldn't be any changes to the stable release, but this
is an important consideration for the future and I can see how it might
make a lot of work for you with Lilypond Tool. Would this have any
effect on the emacs mode as well? I don't use emacs but I know that
emacs mode has some advanced interaction with lilypond. I use vim, but
if there are any auto-completion tools or macros in vim mode then I'm
not aware of them. I only use the syntax coloring, and the patch I
submitted to devel list adds the *.ily extension to the
lilypond-ftdetect.vim file so that coloring will be applied to those
files.

In the large "DOC: Makefile" thread that nobody new is going to
read, there was a proposal to use .ily to indicate "setup"
lilypond files.
I quite like this suggestion, so I'm asking somebody to take the
next step: integrate this with lilypond.
- change (almost) everything in ly/ to .ily.
- update the internal "loading included files" stuff.
- update the docs (i.e. \include "gregorian.ly" should now
just be "gregorian.ily")
- make a convert-ly rule. Any of the built-in files (i.e.
accordian.ly) should be changed automatically. Since we
still support including .ly, we don't need to print out
a warning for other files.
- add a NEWS item.
Cheers,
- Graham
