Re: Syntax of lilypond-words.el

[Ed Baskerville]

Ah, then I have one more question: are the preceding lines

\( - _ \) -
\[ - _ \] -
< - _ > -
<< - _ >> -
\\\( - _ \\\) -
\\\[ - _ \\\] -
\\\< - _ \\\! -
\\\> - _ \\\! -

also used for insertion, not for matching? That is: are the matching  
patterns embedded in the .el source files for the mode?
