Now, I’d like to overwrite "texsettings.ly", containing the setting of
ConTeXt’s text width, each time before I call LilyPond, to adapt its
note line width to the current text width. That would automate the line
width adaption to e.g. columns.
In the module’s documentation under "Dealing with expansion" I found the
example of creating the filter command in a macro.
Can I use this to call a Lua function first and then LilyPond? Or is there a
better way?
There is an internal option: filtersetups that may be useful for what you
have in mind.
You can create a lua function, say lilypond.initialize(...), that does all
the initializations, and then write
\startsetups lilypond:initialize
\ctxlua{lilypond.initialize()}
\stopsetups
\defineexternalfilter[...]
[ ...
filtersetups=lilypond:initialize,
...
]
This is untested, but it should work.
