Thank you so much! This code worked perfectly. You were of course absolutely

I have not worked with Scheme before and I would like to start learning how
to write advanced tweaks for Lilypond as well as functions to automate some
of the writing of music expressions. So far I've noticed on my own some
differences (such as #(define... for music expression functions, but
#(lambda... for dealing with grobs) but I haven't found a good resource to
help me learn more about these details. I'm a musician/musicologist with
only a little programming experience.
I'm still using 2.12.3 because that is what the Lilypond download site lists
as the latest stable version for Windows. Where can I find 2.14.2, and how
could I install it while keeping 2.12.3 in case I need to fall back to the
earlier version?
Many thanks!
If you go to http://www.lilypond.org/windows.html you'll get a link to
2.14.2 which is the latest stable release, and also where you will find
the next stable version, 2.16, due shortly.

Subject: RE: Different versions of LilyPond
That sounds awfully complicated (and one would question the legality of
having multiple installs of the same version of XP on one machine but I
haven't read MS's EULA)
Can't you just
1. install version 2.12.whatever
2. rename lilypond dir accordingly
3. install ve4rsion 2.13.whatever
4. rename lilypond dir accordingly
and just put back the old dir name for the version you want to use.
I believe pretty much everything is self-contained.

I think you'll find the change from 2.12 to 2.14 to be pretty painless,
although you should run the convert.ly script over the .ly you want to
update, or better, use Wilbert Berendsen's Frescobaldi program, where
convert-ly is a menu option.
Hope this helps!
