LilyPond, jEdit and LiyPondTool Testimonial

Nearly two years ago I discovered LilyPond 1.6 and have been wading and swimming happily, productively and continuously ever since, migrating through 2.0.1 and 2.4.3 to 2.4.6.  I've used Windows XP and Cygwin, with Microsoft Word as an editor.  That combo works well.

About a month ago I discovered jEdit and LilyPondTool -- another steep learning curve ensued.  Now reverting to Word seems quaint.  With jEdit's folding feature, moving through a large ly file is far more convenient.  Colors have been customized to my liking.  Keyboard shortcuts invoke often used features.  I'm defining templates for repetitive code chunks.  Every file save parses for obvious errors.  Cygwin is transparent.  Try it.  You will find many more likeable conveniences.

The LilyPond tool user's guide http://lily4jedit.sourceforge.net/users-guide.html, especially Chapter 2: Installation, will tell you how.  Then go to http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lily4jedit-user and subscribe to address@hidden

Though both jEdit and LilyPondTool are quite functional, like LilyPond, they are in development.  You can help guide them to maturity.
