Outdated lilypond-mode emacs files in lilypond-data

[Emmanuel Charpentier]

Binary package hint: lilypond-data

The file header has :

;;;; (c) 1999--2006 Jan Nieuwenhuizen <email address hidden>

Extract from /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/lilypond-mode.el :

[ ... ]

(defconst LilyPond-version "2.5.20"
  "`LilyPond-mode' version number.")

Since we are well in 2008 and lilypond is now at 2.10.25 (stable branch), this version appears outdated. Indeed, some very common syntax (compiling correctly) is flagded as being errors in emacs.

Note : I did *not* upload the upstream source to check this file, but I doubt that Lilypond maintainers, who teke the trouble to write and maintain convert-ly, would forget *this*, even if hey are currently promoting jedit and its lilypond mode...

The source package is of course lilypond.

I don't see the link between convert-ly and the emacs mode... and the version is still 2.5.20 in the upstream source.
The bug report should go upstream I think.

OK : I wasn't very clear. What I meant was that since lilypond authors
take the trouble to maintain a (complicated) program to convert sources
 between versions of the syntax, I am quite surprised to see that the
maintainance of the emacs mode (probably a much simpler task) is not done.

That's what I just discovered by tracking it.

I'll post a short note on lilypond-users.

Thank you for your prompt answer...

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you and whether it has been resolved, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!
