Almost exactly what my current setup is, except with nedit rather than kwrite.
My main work machine is a little memory-disadvantaged, and kwrite's startup
time was getting to me, so I switched. I've looked into making a syntax
highlighting mode, and it shouldn't be too tricky - someone may already have
done this, but I haven't looked.
It has struck me more than once that a windowed desktop environment isn't
necessarily the best for lilypond work. I'm trying out an ion setup that has
a nice, big preview pane on the left for the ps/pdf output, and small panes
for the editor and console on the right. It looks and feels pretty smart,
but I'm still learning my way around ion, so it's a little tricky at times.
By the way, I put together a small python script to watch a file for
modifications and call a command when it spots them - I put it up at
http://blackkettle.org/watch-file.py. It's not too flexible, though. Anyone
know a better way (or even the Right Way)?
See You Later,
