lilypond syntax highlighting block comments

rooc · Mar 28, 2006#12006-03-28T16:36+00:00

In lilypond (a language for writing sheet music see lilypond.org) you can use comments for line with a % character:

%this is a comment

but also you can use a block comments:
%{
this is a block comment
%}

(Yes the characters are correctly placed)
I created a starterline for my lilypond wordfile part like this:
/L12"Lilypond" Noquote Line Comment = % Block Comment On = %{ Block Comment Off = %}

But the block comments don't work? Any ideas?

thanx in advance,

Rooc

PS tried to upload the lilypond wordfile part in a zip but it didn't work. those interested in it's here: rooc.nl/lilypond.txt

You have the same comment problem as described at
The block comment doesn't work for me
Line comment overtaking the block comment

The "Line Comment Num = 2% " (without the ") as explained in the forum topics listed above is also the best solution for lilypond. You only have to make sure that after a % line comment you always have a space following the % character.

Your language definition will start as follows:

/L12"Lilypond" Noquote Line Comment Num = 2% Block Comment On

Note: There are exactly 2 spaces between 2% and Block Comment On.

And you should remove the \ character from the list of delimiters.
