Thanks, being a musician I was unaware of such a program. I'll go buy the m4 Windows XP version after I look at a demo version.
I need to generate chord fret markup of each chord form in all enharmonic spellings at every neck position, as a \include library of diagrams. This is 200-300 lines of markup per chord, considering that I will be doing maybe 1000 or so chord forms, thats a big LP file of 200,000 lines or so and over 26,000 variable names (1000 chords times 26 enharmonic root name spellings at all positions)! Each markup is assigned to a different variable, then I just do a \include of this chord library file to have all my chord forms available when doing arrangements. I have a naming standard where the variable names dont get duplicated, I just need a macro processor to generate each diagram at all fret positions and with all the possible enharmonic root names. Having this library will same future time not having to re-create the diagrams from scratch in each song. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Macro-pre-processing--t1406795.html#a4198607 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User forum at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
