Re:vim

[michael webster]

in recent comments folks have discouraged vim - I have learned vim  
(MacVim) specifically for Lilypond use and have found it terrific.

I have mapped commands to send to lilypond and view pdf or open midi  
output in Quicktime player.

The syntax coloring is a pain to install but works. vims capabilities  
(eg finding other instances of text the cursor is on, folding,  
navigation) and plugins (snippets, alignment) are super useful in a  
Lilypond context.

So I just wanted to encourage anyone who is serious about longer  
projects to consider vim - like Lilypond it has a steep learning curve  
but you can be very productive once you have it going.
