Hi David, I can't review C++ code, though it looks like the C++-version of your: #(define (get-paper-column grob) (if (not (ly:grob? grob)) (ly:message "column not found") (if (grob::has-interface grob 'paper-column-interface) grob (get-paper-column (ly:grob-parent grob X))))) Some time ago I wrote a more generic code: #(define (look-up-for-parent name-symbol axis grob) " Return the parent of @var{grob}, specified by it's @var{name-symbol} in axis @var{axis}. If not found, look up for the next parent. " (let* ((parent (ly:grob-parent grob axis))) (cond ((not (ly:grob? parent)) (ly:error (_"Perhaps typing error for \"~a\" or \"~a\" is not in the parent-tree.") name-symbol name-symbol)) ((not (equal? name-symbol (grob-name parent))) (look-up-for-parent name-symbol axis parent)) (else parent)))) I wonder whether something like this may be implemented at C++ level and your "ly:item-get-column" as a special case of it. What do you think? Cheers, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
