thanks, Benjamin Esham and Paul Scott for the help. the regular expressions did the trick. the problem with the accidental-style being set to 'forget is that it would not remind the reader of accidentals called by the key signature, only those specified and reused within a measure. ___

jedit LilyTool issues

2004-12-24 Thread Erik Sandberg
Hi! I gave LilyTool a try today. It had some nice features, but I also ran into some trouble. The autocompletion feature is a bit too aggressive for my taste - when I write 'a ' (because I want to typeset the note a), the autocompletion suggests Accidental_engraver, and when I press the space key
