... and after all "/etc" is a very unfavourable search term / string - be it in the mailing list archive or with regular search engines - which doesn't easily support individual research... ;-)

Hi everybody A few days ago Lukas-Fabian has pointed me to the existence of the /etc shortcut. It seems to me that this would easy a lot of everday work without any further Scheme skills (music-function-... ). Unfortunately the /etc shortcut is not mentionned in the official docs. The only information I could find is at https://extending-lilypond.readthedocs.io/en/latest/music.html#the-etc-shortcut I tried to create an mve for myself but failed: boxedMark = \mark \markup { \box \etc } { c1 d \boxedMark "Part II" e f } My current (but appearently failing) mental model is that /etc is a kind of function parameter - here called with value "Part II". (I know how procedural and oo languages work.) boxedMark is my function, and with the \etc parameter I am able to pass my value o the functions body. Any help is appreciated. Best regards Stephan
