I implemented your wishes below and made a new version available here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/172729/LilyEditor_v0.6.zip Changes: LilyEditor v0.6 - 2011/07/19 - added keyboard command to run Lilypond instead of clicking the lilypond button - increased font size. - changed the text of the File/hide from "Hide NewApplication" to "Hide LilyEditor." - added support for the application to remember window position and size between launches remaining wishes: - be able to put the .pdf view on the left and the .ly view on the right - allow user to set their own font and size -Marc
