This should be simple, but I just can't seem to get it to work. I'm
working on re-doing a lot of our church music, and use variables
extensively to help make the .ly files more readable. There are a lot of
places where one vocal part splits and we want the "secondary" notes to be
smaller, resulting in code like this:
<f \tweak font-size #-2 f,>1
What I want to do is replace the "tweak" section with a variable, like
this:
smNote = \tweak font-size #-2
<f \smNote f,>1
But this results in errors:
error: unknown escaped string: `\smNote'
error: wrong type for argument 3. Expecting symbol list or music,
found
#<Book>
(the "smNote" definition is at the end of the variables section, and the
first line after the variables section is "\book {" )
Some online searching came up with a few suggestions, but none of them
worked for me. Given that they worked for the original posters, I'd guess I
implemented them incorrectly, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Ideas?
