RE: Lilypond-book with Cygwin & Jedit

[Bertalan Fodor]

I don't have much time to work on lily4jedit in these days, but I can tell
you that many new features can be achieved by using just jEdit's features.
 
> 1 ) How can I configure JEdit to run lilypond-book => latex => dvips with
a single click? 
That's a good question :-)
It's not so hard, but not so easy. 
If you download the Console plugin, it enables you to edit commando files,
which then can be used to run commands. (Details are in its documentation)
Now I wrote a commando file that should do the trick I think (it's not one
click - but not so much). It is assumed that the extension of your file is
lytex. (Which is a quite good convention I think.)
 
lilypond-book.xml (put this in c:\Documents and
Settings\YOURNAME\.jedit\console\commando and use the
Plugins->Console->lilypond-book (after rescanning))

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 
<!DOCTYPE COMMANDO SYSTEM "commando.dtd">
 
<COMMANDO>
<UI>
<ENTRY LABEL="File name" VARNAME="filePath"
   EVAL="buffer.getPath()" />
</UI>
<COMMANDS>
<COMMAND CONFIRM="FALSE" SHELL="System">
 
   buf = new StringBuffer("C:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe --login -c \"cd
`cygpath -au ");
   String fileNoExt=filePath.replaceAll(".lytex$","");
   fileNoExt=fileNoExt.replaceAll("\\\\","/");   
   buf.append(buffer.getDirectory().replaceAll("\\\\","/"));
   buf.append(" ` ; lilypond-book  ` cygpath -au ");
   buf.append(filePath.replaceAll("\\\\","/"));
   buf.append(" ` ; latex `cygpath -au ");
   buf.append(fileNoExt+".tex");
   buf.append(" ` ; dvips -ta4 -Ppdf -u +lilypond.map `cygpath -au ");
   buf.append(fileNoExt+".dvi");
   buf.append(" `\"");
   buf;
</COMMAND>
</COMMANDS>
 
</COMMANDO>

Thanks, I will fix this.

That's true, because the wizard creates 2.1.11 code. After the wizard run
Document->Convert to current version.
