Hello Michael,
it works if you add \etc to the variable (in lily-dev 2.19.x IIRC):
smNote = \tweak font-size #-2 \etc
That way smNote becomes a music-function that takes the note as argument
and the tweak is applied.
If you are using 2.18 you have to create the function like this:
smNote = #(define-music-function (m)(ly:music?) #{ \tweak font-size #-2
#m #})

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?
