Re: OT: Beauty of programming languages

I’m a 68 year-old retired GP. I took up guitar aged 15, playing folk and rock stuff by ear, although I had learned piano long enough in primary school to know what a staff looked like, and I played in folk clubs and bands until medicine took over. After a long career break(!), I took up guitar

Is there an equivalent of #define ... #ifndef ... #endif in lilypond?

When I've finished a jazz chart, I'll want to produce separate parts for several transposing instruments, but while I'm working on the entry of the melody and chords in concert pitch I only need to produce one .pdf file. Obviously, I can comment out the sections I don't want during data entry wor

Re: Four Bars per Line/System, again :)

Experimenting with custom-line-breaks-engraver, I've found that it doesn't work correctly if the number of bars to be printed per line exceeds 9, e.g. \consists #(custom-line-breaks-engraver '(10)) A 37 bar song comes out with 10, 10, 5, 5 and 7 bars per line, instead of the expected 1

Of course - I should have spotted that! Interesting, though that with the override commented out I can get 9 bars per line, but if I exceed that by one I get 10, 10, 5, 5, 7, and the lines with 5 bars in them are sparsely filled - they could easily be 8 or 9. Many thanks - I missed the RTFM instr

Thanks, David. I'm very much at the stage of using example files and modifying them so that they work for me as far as Lilypond is concerned - and can't even plod through your Scheme function definition to work out what it's doing! 4 bars per line or 8 bars per line will do everything I want - th
