This is kind of a duplicate of a question I raised in another thread,
but I think it's a rather generic idea, and I wanted it to be noticed by
people who wouldn't look into a 'TikZ' thread.
Is it possible to write a Scheme function that invokes an external
program from within a LilyPond source file?
This function should pass some input (from the LilyPond file) to the
external program and return some results from the program into the score.
Two use examples:
1. (from the initial thread)
In the input file there is some code for TikZ.
This code is passed to a script that somehow produces an .eps file
from the code.
The result of the function is the code to include this .eps file
into the score.
2. A musical expression (or a string with plain LilyPond code) is
passed to the external program.
The external program somehow processes this music and
returns a musical expression.
This could be great for algorithmic composition or any other
'generative' uses
Best
