    Greetings, all!
    
    I was curious what everyone's setup is like for writing Lilypond,
    specifically, for any non-Frescobaldi users. We all know Frescobaldi is
    great and probably the most ideal environment for Lilypond, but I'm
    personally curious what other people are using and how they're using
    it—mostly looking for inspiration from others.
    
    I keep ebbing in and out of Lilypond usage, so I by no means have any kind
    of hardcore environment setup. I use Neo-Vim for text editing, a simple
    JavaScript Node script that watches my .ly files and recompiles them when I
    save changes, and use the stock macOS Preview app to view the PDF (the
    weakest link, as a far as I'm concerned). Oh, and I guess I also will have a
    Safari window open to the documentation. 
    
    Other than the vim usage, there's a lot I don't like about my setup,
    personally, and it keeps changing every time I jump back into writing.

I used to use vim and Preview on macOS.

Now I use Frescobaldi.  I always miss my vim commands, but point-and-click is 
so useful that it's worth using Frescobaldi, for my experience.

Thanks,

Carl
