Err, I should do something about this link which is totaly outdated. But, for the record, Dutch input method was of course the default, not French. I've been writing a new version with a home made parser (see http://github.com/nsceaux/lyqi) because I was under the impression that semantics (http://cedet.sourceforge.net/semantic.shtml) was not responsive enough with respect to incremental parsing, but I may well be wrong[1]. Indentation is not good yet, but at least the parser as knowledged of lilypond/scheme/lilypond embedding. Anyway, it seems that I've reinvented the wheel (badly). On the other hand my note typing as never been so quick. Several years ago, I used a midi keyboard to enter the notes: one hand on the midi keyboard, and one hand on the computer keyboard, to set durations, because I'm a lame keyboard player. But it turned out that (in my case) that method was not quicker (or practical) than full computer keyboard entry. Nicolas [1] Its documentation says that parsing happens mainly in idle time, whereas I needed that it happens as soon as a typing command is done (so that the next command can immediately know what the previous note duration, alteration, etc, is, to modify it). _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
