Likely. But please leave the quote marks. It's probably currently accepted without, but that's sort of a bad idea. It might change, and it wouldn't work for things like "acoustic guitar". #"glockenspiel" is a Scheme expression, "glockenspiel" is a LilyPond expression. The latter can, in various contexts, be interpreted as a symbol, a string, a symbol list, a lyrics syllable. But I think that after \set (and generally in assignments) it would be a string. And that's very likely to stay so. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
