Re: Website "easier editing"

[Bernardo Barros]

For a user inexperienced new Lilypond user in programming (deal with
text and editors) I think he/she should make contact as fast as
possible with something like LilyPondTool. In this respect I think
this way should be as easy as possible for this type of new user.
Later he/she can choose a different method, but it's not likely that
he/she will stick with Lilypond if things become to uncommon in a
first moment. It's nice because it facilitate some common troubles for
new-users and it run on all platforms. I'm not saying it's the "best"
editor, but it's the best one for a first experience with Lilypond, in
my opinion. I like Emacs, I'm waiting to see more functionalities in
Emacs/lilypond-mode (maybe someone is doing extensions to
lilypond-mode right now???), but JEdit/Lilypond is running faster, I
think.
