Hello. The following code uses a (very, very, very helpful) function that Harm wrote some months ago. Unfortunately, it causes a compiler's error if the size of the arrow is too big (in the following snippet the error is obtained when the size (my-scale) is >= 2). Harm (or anyone else), please can you fix it if possible? Many thanks,
Best, P %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.19.84" biggerArrow = #(define-music-function (scale)(number?)
