Though (relatively) new to LilyPond, I have used ConTEXT for some time, and can recommend it. As mentioned in the first post, it makes a great IDE for LilyPond on Windows. You can compile your scripts, view the PDF's, play the MIDI's and even summon LilyPond help files, all from within ConTEXT. Syntax highlighting is easy to set up (the hardest part is typing in all the keywords). :) Unfortuneatly, UTF-8 is not supported. (A new version of ConTEXT is pending, but it not yet clear whether this new version will support UTF-8.) I ran into problems with this lack of UTF-8 support when trying to insert the copyright symbol into the copyright notice. Of course, LilyPond needs UTF-8 to encode non-ASCII characters. I got around this by using a UTF-8-aware editor to enter the copyright symbol, then saving my script in UTF-8 format. ConTEXT will load, edit and save these UTF-8 files just fine (they'll even appear as UTF-8 in the status bar). _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
