Yes, thanks, but this is not what I'm looking after: At the start of my function (created with `define-music-function`), `\autoBeamOff` gets called (i.e., the `autoBeaming` context variable is set to `##t`), and after the function returns the previous value of `autoBeaming` should be restored. > Not sure why \temporary wouldn’t/shouldn’t, although I must admit I > couldn’t find the right incantation… It doesn't work, I've tested it. Maybe I made a mistake, though... Werner
