Passing along variable-number arguments

Hi, I'm hitting a wall with Scheme once more. I need to create wrapper functions around (format) and other functions that need a variable number of arguments. I know that with #(define (my-proc fmt . vals) "vals" will be an arbitrary number of arguments that will be wrapped in a list, and

Re: feature request: abs-fontsize available for all text grobs

Dear David and Jan-Peter, It appears that the absFontSize feature I sponsored a few years ago — and employ in absolutely [ha!] every score I engrave — has not been rolled into the main Lilypond codebase. Is that true? If so, what is stopping it from being added? I think users could benefit

How to align text and dynamixs

I wonder how to align text and dynamics? I need it to explain a certain action when using a certain symbol. I guess this question could be answered several ways: 1) is it possible to write dynamic/other symbols in markup? 2) How to gently force horizontal alignment between a dynamic/other mark

Four Part Piano Staff

Hello, I want to make a template for a piano staff with two explicitly instantiated voices (not <<{ } \\{ } >>) in each staff - this for four part fugues. Any assistance in accomplishing this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your kind attention. Mark \version "2.18.2"

Thank's Thomas that solves my problem.. I think I will have to change from a set of PDF manuals to the html version. I searched all the files for "Fret" and "N.C." selecting the "any of the words option". This may have found the reference but could have been lost in a cascade of hits.

D.C. al fine

I've been setting a piece of "modern" (i.e. 19th Century) music and, for the first time ever, needed to use Da Capo al Fine. Achieving this for the score and the MIDI output has proved to be surprisingly difficult, which means I've probably missed something obvious in the manuals! In case it

Removing white space from svg output

Hello Mark, What do you mean by « variable format » ? Using variables is very handy for source code readability and if you need separate parts and MIDI output, for example. JM > Le 2 févr. 2016 à 05:31, Mark Stephen Mrotek a écrit : > > David, > > Thank you for your

David, Thank you for your response and the code. In the past I have used the "variable" format. This leads to some repeated adjustments in the placement of the second voice. I prefer not to use variable, yet rather code within the Piano Staff group. Mark -Original Message- From: David
