David,

Much thanks. Adding 'swing.scm' to the init variable was easy to do once, of course, you told me what to do.

Regards,

Guy

All,

Thinking this should be simple to do I've now spent over an hour trying to
figure out how to use the functions in swing.scm (
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/attachmentText?id=687&aid=6870029000&name=swing.scm&token=r8ZwHdiYCou-OG0e72qA0tUNAv0%3A1351867728273).
I have copied the .scm file to the \scm directory where lilypond is
installed. I then tried to use one of the functions in swing.scm yet
lilypond says the function name is an unknown string.


The file needs to be loaded, so I believe you should add its name to the
variable `init-scheme-files-body' in the file `scm\lily.scm'

  I tried to \include swing.scm but lilypond literally included the scheme
contents and all of it was error.


Why not add # before the various functions and save it as an .ly file?
  Then \include will work, and you won't have to make the changes above
every time you upgrade.

HTH,
David
