Quoting Carrick Patterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
If somehow you find an answer to this and it doesn't make the list, I wish you'd post it. I can think of a million uses for being able to pass a variable to a function on the fly, and never have figured out how to do it without having a second variable that is actual notes included and putting the whole thing around curly brackets. Just to be able to pass a padding parameter to a user-written function for spacing, say, rehearsal marks would be a great timesaver. From: "Geoff Horton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2006 11:57:44 -0400 To: "Lilypond mailing list" <[email protected]> Subject: Macro pre-processing? I guess I should start by explaining what I want to do. I have a lot of notes in chords whose noteheads need to be individually \tweak-ed to be smaller. Always on the lookout to reduce typing (and thus typos), I tried: organ = { \tweak "'font-size #-2 } But LilyPond wants an argument right then and there. I strongly suspect I could do a Scheme macro if I knew enough about Scheme and LilyPond internals, but that seems overkill when all I really want is the equivalent of a C compilers macro expansion capability. I could write such a utility easily enough in Perl, and I suspect it's simple enough that I could learn enough Python to write it without too much trouble (thereby not introducing a fourth language into the mix), but I'm wondering if there already exists a simple way to do text substitutions that I don't know about. (I'd also like to use this for a more general conditional interpretation facility than the tags supply.)
