5.7 Editor support

There is support from different editors for LilyPond.

Emacs
Emacs has a lilypond-mode, which provides keyword autocompletion, indentation, LilyPond specific parenthesis matching and syntax coloring, handy compile short-cuts and reading LilyPond manuals using Info. If lilypond-mode is not installed on your platform, then read the installation instructions.
VIM
For VIM, a vimrc is supplied, along with syntax coloring tools. For more information, refer to the installation instructions.
JEdit
The jEdit editor has a LilyPond plugin. This plugin includes a DVI viewer, integrated help and viewing via GhostScript. It can be installed by doing <Plugins > Plugin Manager>, and selecting LilyTool from the <Install> tab.

All these editors can be made to jump into the input file to the source of a symbol in the graphical output. See Point and click.

This page is for LilyPond-2.6.3 (stable-branch).
