It's been a while, but I'm returning to lilypond now, and I still have some unresolved issues with emacs and lilypond, that I'm hoping you all can help me out with.
First of all, how can I set pdf-tools to be the default viewer? Right now I have (customize-set-variable 'LilyPond-pdf-command "zathura") in my init.el, but if I change "zathura" to "PDF Tools" I get a zsh error when running C-c C-s, which seems to indicate to me that the view process is forked out to the shell. Is it possible to keep it inside emacs somehow? Secondly, it is not at all clear for me how to set up point-and-click with pdf-tools... If someone could hold my hand on this I'd be most grateful :-) Best, Kenneth "Immanuel Litzroth" <immanuel.litzr...@gmail.com> writes: > It is installed when/where you install lilypond. > Immanuel > > On Sat, Jul 6, 2024 at 4:03 PM Ben Bradshaw <bleeding.fl...@gmail.com >> wrote: > > Is it not being included by default a recent change?
