+1 but with Lua. I’ve done some useful things. Alternatives are Frescobaldi snippets if you know Python, and you can do a lot with regexes, which is a side-effect of Lilypond’s text file format.

That looks really interesting—I’d probably do all sorts of stuff. But then Lilypond would become a Frankenstein’s monster of extensions in different languages. So I should probably just learn Scheme. Incidentally, when I first arrived on the Lilypond mailing list, I recognized David Kastrup from the Lua mailing list. So he does know Lua quite well, even if he keeps it quiet :-) Vaughan _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
