Sounds great. I have a pair of suggestions: > - Installs LilyPond using the authentic GUB procedure (slightly > updated); everything is preserved, the PATH integration, the "use > bundled python" option etc. > - Installs jEdit editor, absolutely unmodified, just like in a > standard installation. LilyPondTool can also be installed, with a few > additional configuration files and examples. I hope this also takes into account the customised path for "Program Files" directory on localisated versions of Windows. The bundled lilypondtool+jedit+sumatra needed to touch several conf files to adapt it to Spanish Windows. LilyPond installs correctly in Program Files, whatever it is called. > - Installs Sumatra PDF reader, that is both lightweight and free as in > freedom. LilyPondTool is preconfigured to use it. The only way I've found not having to close your desired PDF viewer while trying to recompile a LP document, is to see the PS document with GSview (and Ctrl+R to reload). Will Sumatra let others write in the PDF being viewed, in a future? > - the whole thing (setup+Launcher) is fully localized (English/French > only for now, but it's easy to add more languages).
