Hello everybody,
I have a favour to ask from any LilyPond-Guile crack on the list,
because I couldn’t quite figure it out myself: (technical requirement
here, rationale in PS.)
For a scholarly edition project, I’d like to have a global boolean
variable and a toplevel music function that goes through all lyric
syllables and replaces (for example) two apostrophes "’’" with either a
single apostrophe "’" or nothing, depending on the value of that global
switch variable. How could such a music function be done?
Best, Simon
PS. The reason behind this is: Haydn’s „Jahreszeiten“ use a lot of
apostrophes in the original German text; some of them seem weird to the
modern eye and don’t help understanding, while others are perfectly
normal. I would like to be able to easily switch between modernising
spelling in that regard or just leaving it as is, and I figured the way
to go would be coding the ‘weird’ ones as double apostrophes and having
a toplevel-music-function deal with them.
