Re: Your Bespoke Lilypond Environment

[Randy Josleyn]

Here's something I cooked up that works for me, though I'm not an avid user:

* vis text editor
* abduco + dvtm for arranging terminal windows and attach/detach
* entr for watching files [2]
* redo for building PDFs [1]
* mupdf
* —and dwm on Arch Linux for tiling all my windows

Probably not the most efficient, but mupdf reloads the document on HUP signal, so I put that in my build script to see the result whenever I save.

I use a similar setup for pretty much everything else (finances, web dev, even at my job as a teacher).

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.

What's your DX?
