  Target Milestone: ---

Add column-number to emacsclient command in editor-settings.
SUMMARY
When using references in pdf-files to call an editor at the point of editing
the column number is not given as an argument to emacsclient.
While at it it, wouldn't it be preferable to make the commands editable in the
settings, not only the user-defined entry?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure Emacs (emacsclient) as the default editor in Settings.
2. E. g. in a lilypond pdf-file click on a musical note to open the configured
editor.
3. Emacs is opened at the specific line but not at the column though it is
given in the link.
