Well, I should probably be more explicit with my question.
What I'm thinking about is the following:
I have the file openlilylib.ily, which is the main entry point to
openLilyLib.
I'm currently changing the way how openLilyLib is organized. Previously
you loaded openLilyLib, and then you had the command \useLibrary to load
specific libraries from within openLilyLib.
In the future the libraries will be in separate repositories each
(disentangling code, distribution, collaboration and whatever).
For example you'll have the directories
openlilylib/scholarly
openlilylib/oll-core
You'll "load" the ScholarLY library by including its main file (e.g.)
openlilylib/scholarly/main.ily, and this will in turn include
openlilylib/oll-core/main.ily.
So as a user you won't write
\include "openlilylib"
\useLibrary Scholarly
anymore but
\include "scholarly/main.ily"
(or something similar)
Now the question comes:
openLilyLib registers a list of loaded libraries and its options. What
I'm thinking about is if a function inside openlilylib/oll-core/main.ily
can determine from which file it has been included and then add this to
the list of loaded libraries.
If that's not possible that wouldn't be much of an issue. ScholarLY
would then simply have to include oll-core and *then* issue a command to
register itself with oll. But I just wanted to explore the possibility.
