Hi everybody,
I don't know if someone ever went trough this, but I spend a lot of
time trying to figure out why the syntax highlight in Vim didn't work.
I followed all the instructions in the manual
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-program/Vim-mode)
but it didn't work at all.
Also, I noticed that syntax highlight ofr other languages worked (like
html for instance)
After a lot googling and tryings I discovered that the problem was
that my "~/.vim/filetype.vim" (wich in my ubuntu 10.04 is placed at
/usr/share/vim/vim72/filetype.vim) already had some configurations,
including the following lines:
---code---
if exists("did_load_filetypes")
finish
endif
augroup filetypedetect
---end---
So what I was doing is that I was pasting exactly the code in the
manual at the end of my "filetype.vim", and that of course doubled the
code above so the highlight simply didn't work.
I think that In the manual it should be told that the code above must
appear ONLY ONCE in the "filetype.vim" and if it is already there,
than the user should paste only the following lines:
---code---
au! BufNewFile,BufRead *.ly,*.ily setf lilypond
augroup END
--end---
Other than that, maybe this message help someone that is having the
same trouble that I had.
Bye,
Caio Barros
It's the same in the 2.13 manuals, so I'll fix it there.
cheers.
