That worked beautifully. The follow-up question: Because of the long time it naturally takes to render many scores, when I'm working on the initial files, I run the individual scores as separate files to be included in the main file once I'm done. Naturally, I would want to define the scheme functions in the main file, so that it doesn't reset with each score. However, if I need to edit an individual score, I won't get very far because the functions/variables won't be defined without the main file.
So...is there a command that would allow me to include a file only once (so that if it is included a second time, it won't actually be executed) OR to detect whether the variable has been initialized? I would prefer the first since that would take care of some formatting-related issues, but either would be good.
