The string in string->symbol is a generated string. I have changed the example program as below to make this clearer. \version "2.18.2" abc = IamJustAText xyz = #(string->symbol (string-append "ab" "c")) #(format #t "1) abc ~a xyz ~a ~%" abc xyz) xyz = \abc #(format #t "2) abc ~a xyz ~a ~%" abc xyz) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
