It may be worth asking on the user list. That's the sort of thing Thomas Morley and David Nalesnik are constantly cranking out in Scheme. > Question is - is it OK to modify my code to use statics, No. Even engravers at score level are running in parallel, like when using a \score markup or using the part combiner or quoting music and so on. Static variables just don't work in this setting. > or should I bother you with trying to understand what this means and > how to do it? Since Keith were making the suggestions, he would know better what he was envisioning here. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
