[Lily4jedit-devel] QuickLily *technology preview*

[Joshua K. <zz...@la...>]

Hi!

I rushed through the "working" implementation of QuickLily, and now its in the CVS, before I leave for my trip later :)

Here's a walkthrough on how to run it.

1. Compile the cvs.
2. If you already have Jedit running, try out the Restart feature under the Development menu. (Saves me time reloading the lilytool plugin always ;) )
3. You would want to dock the Note Visuliser Panel to the Top if you have not done it.
4. Create a new file
5. Run the Lilytool wizard to setup perhaps a few staff
6. Now place your cursor inside the relative note block.
7. You can start by double click on the note visuliser. (This starts the quick insert mode)  (You can double click drag feature too)
8. On the lilypond menu, under QuickLily > Toggle on QuickDurations. (For now, I preloaded the plugin with the prefered shortcuts)
9. Now you can use the mouse to insert notes, and the number pad to change durations. (shortcuts can be found in the shortcuts option panel. I should create our own panel to customise the shortcuts easily)

10.  You can play with the pitch and adjustment bindings, eg. q to insert c', - to flatten, page up to octave up, * for enharmonics,
but you might have to be in the right mode. (the button will rotate quick insert-->quick edit-->quick view). I havnt test it for myself so I dont know how much can it work. But you might want to try it.

BUGS:
note with \breve clashes with the next quick insert note
mode switching
undo feature
keybindings eg. for some note adjustment
keyboard quick pitch seems broken too
unable to untoggle shortcuts.
unable to view toggle status in the lilypond menu.

Let me know of the bugs that you encounter.

Gotta go!
Hope to hear from you guys after my weekend trip!
