LilyEditor Description

LilyEditor is an application designed to help you edit lilypond files in a friendlier manner without renouncing to its power. LilyEditor offers you: Edit in measures - The Lilypond language is a very powerful language, but it is build in such a manner, that as soon as a music score gets "medium sized" the code distribution forces you to spend most of the time jumping and searching for the right spot in the code. Lilyeditor addresses this problem by keeping all measures together at one sight. The main view has as many code editors as voices and you see the information related only to ONE measure. Comfortable navigation - You can move back or forward one measure by hitting PageUp and PageDown, LilyEditor will save the current measure and load the next for you. Fast Lilypond output - When you want to see your changes in Lilypond you just hit F5 and LilyEditor will "compile" a configurable region of measures shown having the current measure at its center. The preview PDF will show right afterwards, since having compiled just a couple of measures allows you to get a preview really fast. Clickable error messages: If lilypond threw any error messages at the output, you can just click on them and get directly to the offending source. Clickable results - You can click on to the elements in the pdf to jump back to the right spot in the source, in case anything has to be changed. Colored voices - Furthermore the preview will color each voice in a special color, which matches the background color of each source editor, so you can have a fast overview, which voice is contributing to which notes. Measure duration check - For each measure on each voice the actual duration is calculated and compared to the current time signature. Ummatching values are shown in red. Integrated preview - LilyEditor has even an integrated preview window, which will show you - as you type in - which notes / rests / clef, Lilypond would output. This happens as you write, so you can recognize errors very fast. This preview is clickable too, so you can go to the spot in the source originating any element by clicking on it. MusicXML import - which imports SharpEye (Music-score scanner) files. Syntax highlighting - Lilypond keywords can be easily recognized. Undo. If you made a mistake. You can hit Ctrl-Z to undo the changes. Lookup tables - The editor assists you in writing code. Code Snippets - Is there some code you are typing over and over? You can save up to ten snippets which will be pasted by pressing Alt-0,1,2,3,... Customizable - Templates used to build up lilypond files reside in a subdirectory, you can add, modify or delete as many as you want, if you want to use any special code, lilypond macros or include customized files.
