Building on the idea, I could reduce the number of needed files from 3 to 2 if I could test whether aster has been defined or not. In this instance the source file would check to see if aster is defined, and if not define it. The second file would would first define aster and then load the

Good point, shall we say, to match what is commonly done in this style ;) No point in calling the same over and over again. How about:  halve-half-stems =  \override Stem.before-line-breaking =  #(lambda (grob)  (if (= 1 (ly:grob-property grob 'duration-log))  (let ((half-orig-lngth (/

Question on tags: Is there a way to have a tag set, of which one (and only one) can be kept on a given compilation? For instance, in Kieren's code, when compiling only one of male, female, and malefemale should be kept. Ideally I'd like a staff which neglects to specify which one is to be

arbitrary SpanBar control

Hello all, I would like to be able to control “at runtime” the SpanBar immediately below a given Staff, regardless of whether it is inside a StaffGroup [with its own SpanBar settings], etc. All of the solutions I’ve found for controlling SpanBars are more global (e.g.,
