Okay.
Been busy learning metafont... Couldn't find docu on the web, so I just
had to look at examples... Don't understand what the #'s mean... Where
can I find docu?
Well, it's a general problem that macros operate on specific context.
For instance \clef F; is a shorthand for
\property Staff.clefGlyph = "clefs-F"
\property Staff.clefPosition = 2
\property Staff.clefOctavation = 0
Okay. But what if I have defined my own staff-context and named it
FancyStaff...? To get an F-clef I would then need
\property FancyStaff.clefGlyph = "clefs-F"
\property FancyStaff.clefPosition = 2
\property FancyStaff.clefOctavation = 0
which I cannot do in a shortform; - I have to enter all three lines as
above.
The solution, ofcourse, would be to redefine \clef F to some sort of
\property \thiscontext.clefGlyph = "clefs-F"
\property \thiscontext.clefPosition = 2
\property \thiscontext.clefOctavation = 0
thiscontext should then default to "Staff", and to set clef on i.e.
FancyStaff, one would do
thiscontext = "FancyStaff"; \clef F;
neat eh...?
Actually, it would also work just to do
\property xxx.clefGlyph = "clefs-F"
\property xxx.clefPosition = 2
\property xxx.clefOctavation = 0
... don't really know why... Of course this is dirty and produces
warnings - but it works.
Well, but nevertheless please allow the
\property \var.foh = bar
syntax... It'll sure come handy. Sorry for language ugly... Late in the
evening... Brushes her long blond hair... Noooott :-((( C.U.
