Re: Help with music function

[William Rehwinkel via LilyPond user discussion]

Dear Mark,

I did this in a slightly different way...if you do

\displayMusic c4\rest

%\displayMusic c4\rest =
%(make-music
  %'RestEvent
  %'duration
  %(ly:make-duration 2)
  %'pitch
  %(ly:make-pitch -1 0))

restt = #(define-music-function (pit dur) (ly:pitch? ly:duration?)
    (make-music
        'RestEvent
        'duration
        dur
        'pitch
        pit)
)

\relative c' {
  \restt c 4
  \restt e 4
  \restt g 4
  \restt c 4
  \restt b 2
  \restt a 2
  \restt g 2.
  \restt g 4
}
