Does anybody know how to change the text editor application that is
opened when you point-and-click on a .pdf file of a lilypond score in
MacOSX 10.4.6?
Is that even possible?
In chapter 12.7 of the current manual (2.9.3) it says
lilypond-invoke-editor tests the environment variable for EDITOR.
I first changed the EDITOR in my .profile, but clicking on a note in the
.pdf image still opened the appropriate .ly file with the LilyPond.app.
I then followed the directions in a rather old link from the apple
developers website to create a .MacOSX folder and an environment.plist,
and in that I put:
<key>EDITOR</key>
<string>the/path/to/my/other/text/application/</string>
...and logged out and back in.
Clicking on a note in the pdf image still opened the appropriate .ly
file with LilyPond.app.
I have nothing against the LilyPond.app, but I do most of my texts with
TextWrangler, including my lilypond scores, and I thought it would be
convenient to have the point-and-click open the appropriate files again
right into that editor.
I'd be very grateful for any clues.
