If there is a > smarter way to accomplish this - either in Frescobaldi or directly in > Lilypond - I'd be happy to learn it there is probably some form of scheme voodoo out there which will do this. i don't have time at the moment to dig though, but you could try searching the list archives (also have a look at the lilypond-devel archives) or LSR. maybe one of the scheme gurus will pipe in here as well. :) apart from that, i can only emphasize what kieren just posted: global structure variables make your life a lot easier. :) i've been using them for the past 10 years or so, the first thing i write in any new lilypond file after "\version ..." is "global =" :) regards, sb -- Do not meddle in the affairs of trombonists, for they are subtle and quick to anger. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
