Re: simple editor for windows

[keith Luke]

I use plain old notepad in my Windows PC.  You can only save as text
file.  Do a File/Save As and let Notepad default to Text Documents
(*.txt) for the Save as option.  All you have to do is type in
filename.ly and it will be saved as filename.ly.
You won't have to rename the .txt to .ly.
