Unfortunately, the threshold for understanding how Scheme works in lilypond is rather high (or, at least it was for me). As soon as a #() expression is found in a ly file, it is evaluated (this happens _while_ the file is parsed). So in this case, what you really want to store in a variable, is a _function_ which sets the option accordingly: noPnC = #(def-music-function (parser location) (ly:set-option ...)) When \noPnC is found in the score, that function will be called, and the option will be set. -- Erik _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
