Re: LilyPond 2.12 and emacs on Ubuntu

[Ralph Palmer]

Getting close, I think -
"
So, the first line should actually read:

(setq load-path (append (list ("/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp")) load-path))

if "/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp" is the (apparently appropriate) result of a $locate  on /emacs/site-lisp?

In the file /init.el/ paste in the following lines:

(setq load-path (append (list (expand-file-name "~/emacs/site-lisp")) load-path))

(autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode" "LilyPond Editing Mode" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ily$" . LilyPond-mode))
(add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock)))

And in the first line where it says /expand-file-name "~/emacs/site-lisp"/ paste in the full path to your /emacs/site-lisp folder in your LilyPond installation. It will be /home//user//lilypond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp if you installed LilyPond in your home folder. Don't forget to change /user/ in the path.

Save the file and try opening a .ly file with emacs. If it works, the code will turn pretty colors and there will be a 'lilypond' menu at the top amongst the others.

Dave -

Okay, in home/rpalmer/, I've got a .emacs.d. The only thing that contains is auto-save-list (a directory), which is empty. I'll create the init.el file in ~/.emacs.d.

   Dave,

   Does it make any/much/a significant difference that I'm running
   8.10? I would think anything that worked under 8.04 should work
   under 8.10.

       Ralph, check in your home folder and see if there is a folder
       called .emacs.d and if there is a file in that folder named
       init.el

       It should be there. If not, create that file and folder. We're
       going to get this working.

               I tried M-x lilypond-mode, and got an emacs error
               message that lilypond-mode
               couldn't be found.
                 

           
               Anyone have a suggestion?
                 

           Mmmh... jEdit?

           OK, I'm out :)
