Okay, this one I figured out. It says here http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-commit.html#_environment_and_configuration_variables The editor used to edit the commit log message will be chosen from the GIT_EDITOR environment variable, the core.editor configuration variable, the VISUAL environment variable, or the EDITOR environment variable (in that order). So I right-clicked on the Desktop "My Computer" icon --> Properties --> Advanced --> Environment Variables --> User variables --> New --> Variable Name: GIT_EDITOR Variable Value: <path to my preferred editor> So now, $ git commit -a opens my preferred editor. One down. Maybe there's hope! - Mark _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
