Comment #8 on issue 2336 by d...@gnu.org: Patch: Add layout changing
command \layout-from for getting context defs from music
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2336
Ok, I am not altogether happy. The regexp example with its
\midi { \layout-from { \tempo 4 = 80 } }
makes quite obvious that this is rather \context-defs-from or \output-from
even though it will most often be used as \layout { \layout-from ...
Its purpose is to adjust context-defs while in an output-def. Does anybody
have a better suggestion for its name? It's pushed to staging already, but
it would still be pretty painless to change its name. The name should
contain a hyphen (to prevent accidental use inside of music). It serves a
somewhat similar purpose as \settingsFrom (which is used inside of a single
context-def and actually could also make use of a hyphen: it is
less "dangerous" since it does not actively change variables in the current
module but just returns a context-def).
