I don't know. It depends on "xpdf" and its "-remote" option. But I could well imagine that is available at least for most of the platforms. The emacs part is straightforward elisp and should work on any machine which supports elisps subprocess routines. > > I'm hoping that I'm not stepping on any toes here, but it seems to me > that in a true unix tradition, lilypond-mode should do only one thing > and do it good and that is helping with the editing of .ly files.

It also facilitates compilation, viewing and printing of files, doen't it. But generally I agree to your points although I have to admit that right now I'm in a process to integrate everything (midi, pdf, templates and such) for a course here at our school trying to convince the music theory department that using linux is as easy albeit more powerful than their beloved gui-OSes. > I'm the maintainer of three major modes (with minor usage and all > only for gnu emacs), so I do know a bit about emacs modes.

Thanks a lot for your offer, sounds like an excellent idea. -- Orm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
