For VIM, a vimrc is supplied,
along with syntax coloring tools. A Vim mode for entering music and
running LilyPond is contained in the source archive in $VIM
directory.
The LilyPond file type is detected if the file ~/.vim/filetype.vim has the following content
if exists("did_load_filetypes") finish endif augroup filetypedetect au! BufNewFile,BufRead *.ly setf lilypond augroup END
Please include this path by appending the following line to your ~/.vimrc
set runtimepath+=/usr/local/share/lilypond/${LILYPOND_VERSION}/vim/
where ${LILYPOND_VERSION} is your LilyPond version. If LilyPond was not installed in /usr/local/, then change this path accordingly.
This page is for LilyPond-2.11.58 (development-branch).
