melrose-for-emacs

Emacs extension for the MIDI programming tool Melrōse.

The extension loads .mel and .melrose files with melrose-mode, adding the following bindings to the keymap:

• ("C-c C-e" . #'melrose-eval)
• ("C-c C-p" . #'melrose-eval-and-play)
• ("C-c C-s" . #'melrose-eval-and-stop)
• ("C-c C-k" . #'melrose-kill)
• ("C-c C-i" . #'melrose-eval-and-inspect) (not implemented)

Communication with the Melrōse language server is written to the buffer *melrose*.

Installation

First install melrōse

Clone repository, add it to your load-path and load the extension with

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/melrose-for-emacs")
