Re: parameters in lyrics?

With apologies for continuing to flog this subject... I've taken David Kastrup's advice, and upgraded to 2.19.32, and I might now be able to simplify this problem quite radically, and eliminate some limitations, with a small change of syntax. Below is the germ of the idea. The thing I'm missing

thanks David, I guess I'm flogging a dead horse, at least until my understanding is much deeper. I'm really grateful for your explanation though. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: parameters in lyrics?

Hello Graham, allow me to advertise a feature recently (though before 2.19.21, which you were using) introduced by David K.: Music functions may now directly be called as Scheme procedures, so #{ \italic #syllable #} may be replaced with the much more elegant (italic syllable) !!! Revised

Re: parameters in lyrics?

Many thanks to both Davids for their help. In case anyone is remotely interested, here is the working result. There is still a niggling issue with lyrics that are both coloured and editorial, but I can live with that for the time being. -- Graham \version "2.19.21" %{ Allow editorial additions

Re: parameters in lyrics?

I've finally got back to this problem, and have tried to write a wrapper around Simon's code. However, I now find myself at that peculiarly humiliating stage of grappling with Scheme code, in which one's increasingly-desperate random changes to punctuation are beginning to go round in circles.

Re: parameters in lyrics?

Urs, David, Simon: many thanks. I think I can see a way ahead for new scores. (Migrating old scores will require some editing to change \end from a postfix operator to a prefix operator.) You've given me another insight into lilypond's internals. The learning process is a bit

parameters in lyrics?

I'm trying to enclose some lyrics within square brackets but, for reasons too tedious to trouble the list with*, I'd like to parameterise the brackets using the \foo and \fooEnd constructs in the following pseudocode. Is there a way to do this without causing "[" and "]" to be set as separate
