Point and click with Gnome 3 and Emacs

[Andrew Bernard]

With lilypond 2.19.82 on Debian 9.6 running Gnome 3, I followed the
instructions on how to set up point and click from PDF to emacs. All works,
except that I get a new emacs instance every time. I then realized that one
has to run emacsclient for this to work, but I can't quite figure out what
to do to set that up, even after reading the emacs wiki.

Does anybody have some quick pointers on what needs to be done and how to
run emacs in this case?

Answering my own question, sorry for the noise.

Start emacs --daemon.
Then run emacsclient -c.
This after following the instructions in the NR to setup Gnome 3.

[It was the -c flag that eluded me.]

The easiest way is adding this line to ~/.emacs:

(server-start)

You must log out the session and when you log in again it will work.
