I've got a bit of music that repeats -- except there's an arpeggio that's only there the first time. I've defined a music variable thus:
barsSixToEight = { << \new Voice { \voiceOne d'8 cs d fs4->\arpeggio e8 | d8 cs b cs4-> b8 | } \new Voice { \voiceTwo fs8 g fs e4.\arpeggio | fs4. gs | } >> | a8 a gs g fs e | } and I'm using it something like this: upperStaff = \relative c' { a4 a a \barsSixToEight b4 b b % Somehow suppress \arpeggio here: \barsSixToEight } > (The actual music is at > <https://github.com/jcsalomon/MutopiaProject/blob/03d5d92/ftp/CrookJ/PeterPan/PP01_Act_I_Opening_Music/PP01_Act_I_Opening_Music.ly>.) As indicated, I do not want the arpeggio in the second repetition. I've tried defining \arpeggioOnce, # (define arpeggioOnce arpeggio) before defining \barsSixToEight, and then redefining \arpeggioOnce within the music to something else (I defined \nill as an empty block) but that did not work. Is there a way to achieve what I'm trying to do? --Joel Salomon _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
