re: vim compiles always in root directory

[Romel Anthony S. Bismonte]

I ran into a similar issue when I was writing this musical some time back. My workaround was basically this:

 

1) In the directory that I have the music in (let's say it was /path/to) I put in a "startvim" script and a "render" script.

2) The startvim script just called vim.

3) The render script had these lines:

 

cd /path/to

lilypond --[some options] project.ly

 

4) Then when I worked, I used "startvim" to open vim, then when I was ready to compile, I ran the "render" script.

 

Hope this helps.
