LilyPond support in Emacs

LilyPond support in Emacs

[q10]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 312 bytes --]

Hello:

Okay, maybe I don't know how to access it, but it seems that Emacs does not
support syntax highlighting in LilyPond *.ly files.  Please show me the
plugin if there is one, or add syntax highlighting and language support for
LilyPond and all the other music notation filetypes out there.

Thank you,
-q10

I no nothing about it, but a quick search on Google for emacs and 
lilipond gives quite a few hits.

   Google: emacs lilypond

There exists a lilypond-mode for emacs which highlights your *ly files.
Search for `lilypond.el`.

When you install lilypond you already will have the files you need to
highlight lilypond files. You may need to search for them, however.
Hmm... I found them in the systems /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ 
after installing the lilypond package in hardy ubuntu.
Tell emacs where to find them.

perhaps (require 'lilypond-init) might be enough.
Though its worth installing lyqi-mode.

This is what my .emacs file looks like for lilypond
(autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode" "LilyPond Editing Mode" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode))

;; adds ~/.elisp/lyqi in the load path
(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/.elisp/lyqi") load-path))

;; when loading LilyPond-mode, lyqi-mode library will also be loaded.
;; type `C-c q' in LilyPond-mode to switch to lyqi-mode.
(eval-after-load "LilyPond-mode"
  '(progn
     (load-library "lyqi-mode")
     (define-key LilyPond-mode-map "\C-cq" 'lyqi-mode)
          (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock))))
