I'm a new user of Lily Pond. I'm running the program under Windows
XP (I know, I know, don't tell me...) I find it fast and easy to
use. I prefer it to Finale because it's so easy to debug the code.
lily works well on windows, mac and linux. which is as software should
be. happy to hear you like it, i've been a fan for a long time. :)
JEdit is O.K., but it would be a big help to me if there were a dual-
window editor that would incorporate an interpreter (rather than a
compiler). One window would show the text file as it was being
developed; the other side would display - on command - the resulting
PDF image. (Think of the way the Matlab editor works.) It would
make debugging much easier to be able to see the results of code
changes immediately, rather than have to save the .LY file and then
call LP, then look at the result in Adobe.
on a mac, i use TeXShop. you can probably get TeXniccenter on windows
to play nicely with lilypond -- iirc it's easy to add a new
typesetting engine to it, but i haven't done things like that on
windows for a few years. (i think they called them output profiles).
or you can go the route of JEdit and LilyPondTool which works for a
lot of ppl here on this list. bertalan (dev of LPT) is also active
around here.
welcome to the world of lilypond. :) regards,
sb
