Hi Mike

Last year (or maybe even before) I started writing a post for 
lilypondblog.org, but I never completed it as I was not happy about it. 
IIRC Windows worked fine, but I never found a way to register the 
textedit protocol in Mac.
Eventually I lost interest in this post, as I'm a Linux user and 
honestly I don't care too much about Windows and Mac users anymore :P

I've just created a public preview of the post:

NOTE: it will expire in 2 days!

I hope it will give some hints to carry on your research.

Cheers
Federico
