No, I haven't tried any version of Emacs. But I read about it. Emacs may
be a powerful editor of course, but when you start first with it, you
have to study tutorials and read many other helps. Emacs has many own
commands and very less commands who are windows-conform. All this
specific commands you have to drill in your head, there is no graphical
menü (when I am right). An introduction (in german language) I found at
http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/doc/emacs/emacsintro.html
There you read that you cannot delete a written character with the
"backspace"-key. An old typewriter could do that and every other editor
around me does that. I don't want to miss this and such similarly features.
Context has menus and you can take shortcuts as well. The commands are
conform for windows-users (File open, close, cut and paste, delete and
so on). Context is small and quick. I think context has all you need to
handle with lilypond. IF you know Emacs it is alright when you use it.
But can Emacs switch with one shortcut to the PDF- and with another
shortcut to the midi-file without saving and leaving the source code
(like context can)?
I began to write a context-highlighter for lilypond source code. (You
can choose 5 different colors for better reading special commands). It
works well. But I am new in lilypond and only a few commands I have
manually picked up to now. If somebody is interested, I can post the
highlighter file here (as a text-file and as it is at the moment).
