When a function is evaluated, its arguments are read, evaluated, and the function is called with the unevaluated arguments, and the result of that call is used. When a macro is evaluated, its arguments are read, the macro is called with the unevaluated arguments, and the result of that call is evaluated before use. It's just a matter of where the evaluation happens. With a function, it is before the call, with a macro, it is after the call. That's all there is to it. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
