Hi David,

Funny, I have been using vi since it was invented by Bill Joy. Quite some
time. (!) But I always use emacs, and I have to say I had never heard of
gvim before this exercise. So it's a learning exercise for me to come to
grips with the vast machinery of gvim. Here's something I found. Just run

$ gvim

and it detaches and runs. You can use it as a server with gvim --remote
commands, and the name it acquires when you specify no --servername option,
just plain gvim, is GVIM. You can see this name, in upper case on the
window title bar. Proof that this works is:

$ gvim --serverlist
GVIM

So that's handy to know, and simple.

I am beginning to think a more extensive section on setting up point and
click is needed in the manual. Perhaps when I comprehend it and deal with
all the matters like 'press ENTER ...' appearing every time I click the PDF
and so on I could draft something. I'd still be using emacs but my current
string quartet score of only 60 pages makes even emacs in lilypond mode
slow down to the point of unusability, ten or fifteen seconds to position
the cursor, on  a very fast computer workstation.
