"Spacing", "note heads", "tempo", and more music definitions in Lilypond syntax

A syntax highlighter "Lied" highlights the code with its own colour scheme, created to make easy and nice, work on lilypond files. Current version of default menu items is based on Lilypond version 2.10.3.

Lilypond commands as menu items The Lilypond commands have been grouped by subject, in a similar style to what can be found in music notation software, with a graphic interface. Realistically, you cannot find in Lied a full support to the Lilypond commands, but rather a good tool to starting in learn many features of the Lilypond syntax.

Ability to change default menu items. Several of the default menu items can be modified, allowing the update of the obsolete commands.

Ability to add menu items By using the "user menu", the users can add new menu items.

Multiple configurations. A set of menu items can be saved as a configuration. This function allows you to relate a set of menu items with a kind of music, or with a piece. A saved configuration can be subsequently reloaded.

Buffer versions. - a function that allow users to recover differents versions of the text buffer. Saved versions (between 1 to 99) can be reloaded in any time, during the current session or in a later session.

About unicode support. Lied currently doesn't have a complete unicode support. If you have the need to use accented or special characters, but you do not want to give up the Lied menus, you might consider the use of Clilypboard. Clilypboard has all Lied features, at exception of the text editor, and has been rebuilt as an independent tool, that can be used combining it with your favorite text editor.

Generic functions

A simple "UNDO" function, which allows exclusively the return to the last saved version of file, is available.
