Hi Urs,

you might import the SRFI-1 span-function and give that a new name. The counterpart-function to span is break, which "conflicts with the break binding established by while (see while do). Applications wanting to use break from within a while loop will need to make a new define under a different name."
You might provide such an alternative name for "span".

Personally I'd prefer another name for your function, because srfi-1-span is "prior art" ;-)
and *now* you can give it a name that does not conflict.

Hi all,

I've mostly completed the implementation of a "span" module that provides the \span music-function, which is roughly the same as the HTML <span class=""> element.

Nearly everything works fine by now, and I've been very happy with the name - until I realized that a music-function \span can be invoked from Scheme with (span), and that this shadows the Scheme procedure span from SRFI-1.

Am I right to assume that this *can* work - as long as no user of my package will think of using the original Scheme function?

Is there any way to get around this without renaming my music function?

Urs
