I jumped in this discussion, as a non-Mac-user, because I'm writing a 
blog post which includes a part about using editors other than 
Frescobaldi.

The Usage manual¹ doesn't say that the instructions for 
point-and-click are valid for Linux only, so I though that a similar 
mechanism could work at least in Mac (and maybe on Windows).

I've now learned that:

- it used to work in Mac before Sierra, but I wonder if you were able 
to set an editor different from Notes...
- it doesn't work in Windows or at least I'm not sure how to make it 
work. I have added lilypond installation directory to the path, in fact 
I can run lilypond in the PowerShell. But I cannot run 
lilypond-invoke-editor. If I type lilypond and then hit TAB, it's not 
in the available commands.

If on Linux I do:

$ file `which lilypond-invoke-editor`
/usr/bin/lilypond-invoke-editor: a /usr/bin/guile1.8 -s script, ASCII 
text executable

Any Windows expert who can help?
