Currently JEdit with LilyPondTool is the only editor for LilyPond
that provides syntax checking and autocompletion of tweaks. I
consider those such crucial features I can't image how other people
can work without it. So it may worth learning to use another. That
will be the last, I'm sure. Though I'm quite biased :-)
Does it have highlighters for texinfo, C++, html, css,
javascript, python, php, scheme too? All of which I
use.
Yes, it has a quite impressive list of highlighters, also syntax
checking for php and html via plugins
(http://jedit.org/index.php?page=features). I must note however, that
jedit's highlighter configuration is regular-expression based, so it
doesn't have such power that vim or emacs, where you can write code to
highlight. (Actually you could write a plugin that colors according to
more complex rules, as I do in LilyPondTool to make different background
color for Scheme parts.)
I understand how hard it is to use more than one editors, not to mention
setting up compiler commands. I am biased because jEdit was my first
power editor, and I gradually got engaged by its power when creating
LilyPondTool.
