Simple OS X Lily previewer in the works (was getting Lily/mftrace on MacOSX)

[Ed Baskerville]

Hi all,

I've just started work on a simple LilyPond previewer for OS X. It will 
be similar to TeXShop, but simpler--at the expense, perhaps, of 
flexibility. The application will be a simple LilyPond text editor with 
indent balancing, parenthesis balancing, and code completion and 
"almost live" PDF previewing--a straightforward, one-trick pony.

I was mostly silent about this because I hadn't actually written any 
code until Thursday. Now that I have some basic functionality, I 
thought I'd gauge interest. I'll try to have a test version available 
soon, probably without syntax coloring or code completion.

A few questions for you all:

(1) Would use use this application? (Feel free to just email me 
directly.)
(2) Any other key features you'd like to see?
(3) Echoing Han-Wen's inquiry about a binary distribution: what would 
be a reasonable price?
