Hi Aaron,
Going back to the original function posted, if the output is meant to
be a book that is more-or-less immutable and ready for printing, one
could just do the following instead:
%%%%
\version "2.19.82"
test = #(define-void-function (suffix) (string?)
(print-book-with-defaults #{
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix #suffix
\score { d4 }
} #}))
\test "surname"
%%%%
Am I missing a subtlety that the original function is trying to address?
No - I think that's perfect. Thanks much - I didn't find a procedure for
"just printing" a book.
What I was trying to achieve here: I have a document with theory
exercises which come in several guises - figured bass, figured bass with
given melody, only bass and melody, and so on -, richly adorned with
\tag'ging. Since there are various chapters/sections, interspersed texts
etc., they do not fit into one \score.
I wanted to have a convenient way to generate all various combinations;
hence a function that receives a filename suffix and (omitted in my
examples) a list of tags that should be removed.
The book now is defined using
create = #(define-void-function (omitTags suffix) (list? string?)
(print-book-with-defaults #{
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix #suffix
...
} #}))
and each story contains a \removeWithTag #omitTags. Hence by just issuing
\create #'() "complete"
\create #'(middleVoices bcFigures) "OuterVoices"
\create #'(upperVoices) "bc"
\create #'(upperVoices bcFigures) "BassOnly"
I get four files with completely different versions of a whole book
containing multiple \score's and interspersed \markup's.
Works like a charm now - thanks much!
Best
Lukas
