Almost exactly what my current setup is, except with nedit rather than kwrite. My main work machine is a little memory-disadvantaged, and kwrite's startup time was getting to me, so I switched. I've looked into making a syntax highlighting mode, and it shouldn't be too tricky - someone may already have done this, but I haven't looked.
It has struck me more than once that a windowed desktop environment isn't necessarily the best for lilypond work. I'm trying out an ion setup that has a nice, big preview pane on the left for the ps/pdf output, and small panes for the editor and console on the right. It looks and feels pretty smart, but I'm still learning my way around ion, so it's a little tricky at times. By the way, I put together a small python script to watch a file for modifications and call a command when it spots them - I put it up at http://blackkettle.org/watch-file.py. It's not too flexible, though. Anyone know a better way (or even the Right Way)?
