Thanks

(car ) was the trick I would have been looking for a long time to come up with 
that one.

(car (...))- returns the first member of a list.

I'm assuming that if that member is a function it returns the functions result, 
which is why we get the solution?

Subject: Re: Nesting ly:music-property error

Sorry, my previous answer was rubbish. The following runs withouterror and 
prints the pitch object.myN = #(define-music-function (parser location myx ) 
(ly:music?) (display-scheme-music (ly:music-property (car (ly:music-property 
myx 'elements)) 'pitch)) myx) \myN cCheers,MikeOn Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 6:46 PM,
