Dear all, when using the current Lilypond.app (2.13.35-1 and the stable one), Point-and-Click will work out-of-the-box for the Mac - nice. But there is no recipe on what to do if you prefer not to use the builtin text editor.
However, there is a solution for the Mac: distributed with lyqi by Nicolas Sceaux is EmacsPointAndClick.app - but this needs to be modified to work on Snow Leopard. Please find attached my correspondence with him. - But I think there is a much better way: as Lilypond.app already handles the "textedit"-type URIs it should be possible for advanced users on the Mac to set LYEDITOR and, if set, Lilypond could then provide the functionality of the EmacsPointAndClick-AppleScript in a more general fashion, replacing the "do shell script" line with whatever is specified in LYEDITOR. Point-and-Click is a great feature of a great application. Thank you for Lilypond! Warm regards, Stefan -- Dr. Stefan Vollmar, Dipl.-Phys.
