Hi again,
Same question, after some newly failed attempts on my part.
A new phrasing of the question:
Does anybody know how to change the text editor application that is
opened when you point-and-click on a .pdf file of a lilypond score in
MacOSX 10.4.6?
Is that even possible?
In chapter 12.7 of the current manual (2.9.3) it says lilypond-invoke-
editor tests the environment variable for EDITOR.
I first changed the EDITOR in my .profile, but clicking on a note in
the .pdf image still opened the appropriate .ly file with the
LilyPond.app.
I then followed the directions in a rather old link from the apple
developers website to create a .MacOSX folder and an
environment.plist, and in that I put:
<key>EDITOR</key>
<string>the/path/to/my/other/text/application/</string>
...and logged out and back in.
Clicking on a note in the pdf image still opened the appropriate .ly
file with LilyPond.app.
I have nothing against the LilyPond.app, but I do most of my texts
with TextWrangler, including my lilypond scores, and I thought it
would be convenient to have the point-and-click open the appropriate
files again right into that editor.
I'd be very grateful for any clues.
Thanks,
Sean

Reading Appendix D of the manual (2.8), it seems the default editor
for point
and click indeed CAN be changed, but the manual is -- to me, at
least --
completely unclear on how to do so. It is, at least, clear to me
that no
fiddling with OS X (e.g. the Get Info advice I gave earlier) will
accomplish
what you want. There's some kind of environment variable that must
be changed,
and it looks like once you have done that you are in tall cotton.
