Hi John,

To facilitate using emacs xref in lilypond work, I wrote a script to
assemble the needed TAGS file. The unique feature of the script is
that it includes the regex to find tags in Lilypond (.ly) files as
well as tags defined in LY_DEFINE* macros, in addition to the normal
c++, python, lisp, scheme, yacc, and Makefile tags.
Is there any interest in including such a script in the Lilypond
source tree, perhaps in a new scripts/emacs directory?
scripts/auxiliar/ is well-suited to that sort of thing, but there
hasn't been agreement on including helpers like that in the sources
(with the maintenance promise it entails). Is it a large script?
If so, it needs some consideration. If not, can it fit in an @example
somewhere in the CG? That might also make it more visible.
I'm using Emacs, but prefer 'git grep' for this task (or just opening
the right source file directly: ly:something-do-whatever is usually
in lily/something-scheme.cc, ly:something-interface::calc-foo in
lily/something-interface.cc, etc.). Is there anyone out there who
would use this?
If this has been done before and published, could someone give a
pointer to where I could find it?
Not that I'm aware of, but then, I have "only" been around on this
list for about two years.
Best,
Jean
