This project is growing into serious and really usable stuff. Thanks!
remarks 1:
I kind of liked the old copy/paste actions of the primitive preview
versions. I liked that your script helped me to find the perfect values to
enter in my \shape functions for Slurs for example. But in the endresult
my lilypond score did not need to include LilyJSSVG.ly and did not need
all these new \jsXxxxx versions of already existing commands.
Or is this still possible, but I haven't understood how yet?
The previous implementation had two big disadvantages, which are avoided in this version:
1) You had to copy/paste each modification. In the current way, instead, you put the token ( \jsXXX ) only once before the corresponding grob. And then the editor will be automatically updated at each modification.
Please note that the new expressions follow the Lilypond naming convention, with a "js" prefix (which means that no additional names have to be learned/remembered)
2) You could not compile and then apply a new modification (you had to delete the _expression_ and reset the shape to its default)
remark 2: The LilyJSSVGCompileHelper.py script only works with Python2 and
is not compatible with Python3.

Sounds right. Please open an issue token in the project's page ("issues") and I'll fix it asap
