Don't worry, I'm not sure I understand either. :) What I do know is that backquote is used to create a list template (mainly for use in macros); any element in the template which isn't ,unquoted appears verbatim in the resulting list, whereas an ,unquoted element is evaluated. So in the txt example, without unquote the resulting list contains the symbol 'txt; unquoted, it contains the internal value of txt, i.e., the string. > Would you, by any chance, have an idea about how to make it possible to have > > c1\startSpan "spanner attached to note" c1\endSpan > > without using a music function? > > (If you do have an idea, this would also be useful for Graham's > compound dynamics.) I've puzzled over this, but can't think of anything which might work.
