Re: emacs point-and-click on OSX

These links might help... it’s all about setting the correct custom URL handler.

Unhiding your Library folder (thanks Apple, heaven forbid we try to do anything interesting):

Configuring your textedit URL handler:

Opening emacs at a specific line/column:

I may be wrong, but what I would do is set the handler to be an application (Applescript maybe) that takes the URL ( eg textedit:///Users/vaughan/myfile.ly:164:10:10 ), parses the filename, line number & position and converts it to a bash script like:

emacs -c +164:10 /Users/vaughan/myfile.ly

This might be a bit roundabout. Maybe emacs can handle textedit:/// URLs directly?

Dear LilyPond users,

Can anyone provide me with instructions (or a link) to help me get
point-and-click working on OSX? I use aquamacs (i.e. emacs) to edit
lilypond files, and compilation/view works fine, but point and click
still opens the built-in LilyPond editor.  I tried searching for
instructions and found some old messages about it, but they are very
technical and I didn't understand what was involved - a lot of editing
browser options it seems. (I use Firefox.) Right now I'm using the
default pdf viewer (Preview) but I would use a different one if that
would make things easier.  I'm on LilyPond 2.16.2 and OSX 10.9.1.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin
