Re: Fun with \include "english.ly"

[Thomas J. Dillman]

After some experimentation. I've discovered that the problem was doing the include inside a {} block. english.ly defines a variable, which, it seems, can't be done inside a block. I didn't see anything on this in the tutorial or manual. Did I miss something obvious?

What am I doing wrong.
