I've written some music functions I use frequently to operate on lyrics.
For example, there's one call "lacc" that allows me to intermix lyrics and
notation by accumulating the lyrics into a list I can instantiate later in
the \score block. Very nice and convenient, but the usage is a little
messy:
\lacc \lyricmode { This is a ly -- ric line. }
c4 d e f | g a
\lacc \lyricmode { Here is the next. }
b c | d c2. |
Normally, I deal with the messiness by defining a keystroke macro in my
editor that wraps a line of bare text in the necessary commands and braces.
I now find myself (skipping a long story) needing to work in an
environment where keystroke macros will not be available.
Is it possible to define a music function that will do the work of my
keystroke macro? Ideally I'd like to be able to write in an input file
something like
\lyr This is a lyric line
and have LilyPond do the rest, but none of my attempts thus far have
worked.
Thanks,
Mike
