Subject: Edit scheme files with Frescobaldi
Hi all,
Some of my projects #(load "external_scheme_files"). For example, if song.ly
contains
\version "2.20.0"
\include "articulate.ly"
#(load "swing.scm")
\header {
...
then if I open song.ly in Frescobaldi and use Engrave (preview), it doesn't
find swing.scm (doesn't know to copy it to the tempdir?) And if I Open
swing.scm in Frescobaldi, it tries to compile that as a .ly format.
Is there a way to open .scm files in Frescobaldi alongside the .ly files, be
able to edit them all and engrave/publish on demand (maybe using a session)? I
haven't found how in the docs.
The way I do it is to embed the scheme code in an ly file. Instead of calling
it “swing.scm”, call it “swing.ly”, and preface functions with # as needed.
And then you can just \include “swing.ly”.
Or, if the file is used in lots of your projects, you can include a path along
with the file name in your load call.
Carl
