I've got a lot of music with
foo = \override LyricText.font-shape = #'italic
bar = \revert LyricText.font-shape
and I'd like to redefine foo and bar to replace the italics with
[bracketed text]. And to switch between italics and brackets easily.
Apologies: I should have made that clear at the top of the thread.
I might just have to redefine the syntax altogether, so that I can say
something like:
Three \foo { deaf and blind } mice.
Going quiet for a bit while I think about that...
