Hi Keith, Would
\combineAt (measure moment/fraction) \base-music \new-music be a more intuitive — and ultimately useful — syntax? You could also have a \insertAt (measure moment/fraction) \base-music \new-music which would insert something (instead of simultaneous-ing it). The big downside, of course, would be that if the number of measures before that point changed, you’d have to update all of those references; using \tag would avoid that problem. The big downside with \tag is that you need to fill up the content with \tag locations for every possible addition/insertion; this ultimately eliminates the possibility of real content-presentation separation, which \addAt would allow. Of course, having both would be great — but for my money, the ability to \addAt something post-hoc (i.e., without “a priori” \tag-ging) is the power tool. Cheers, Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
