No. Typesetting { \"Anything?! { c'4 } " } would give the same
output as { c'4 }. BTW there's no relationship between the
characters c'4 in the variable name and the note c'4 in the score.
The former might mean something to the human typing in the source,
but it means nothing to LP beyond being three ASCII characters c ' 4
in the middle of a variable name.
If the name contains otherwise illegal characters, then it must *always*
be enclosed in "". \{ doesn't mean anything, \"{" does. So you can write
"{" = g'4
"abcd" = a'4
spqr = f'4
{ \"{" \abcd \"spqr" }
for what it's worth.

Lyrics in polyphony with ties in second voice
Hi.
I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to notate this.
I am creating a lead sheet that has vocal line with lyrics. Some sections
have just the melody, and other sections have harmonies under the melody.
In general, I have been having success using this pattern for going into
and out of polyphony, while keeping the lyrics associated with the melody:
melody = \relative c'' {
c1 << { \voiceOne d } { b1 } >> | \oneVoice e1 |
}
However, there is one phrase where I can't figure out how to make it work,
which is when the second voice contains ties.
What I'm after is like the second score--except there should be ties
between the chords in the second voice in bars 2-3.
Alternately, like the music in example 6, except with lyrics in the 2nd &
3rd bars.
\version "2.19.80"
words = \lyricmode {
One, two and three four
}
melody = \relative c'' {
\time 3/4
g2.^"1. Just melody - missing harmony" | g8 a f2 ~ | 2. | e2. \bar "|."
}
melodyHarmonizedNoTies = \relative c'' {
\time 3/4
g2.^"2. Harmonized, no ties: missing ties in voice 2"
<<
\relative c'' { \voiceOne g8 a f2 ~ | 2. }
\relative c' { 2. | 2. }
>> | \oneVoice
e2.
\bar "|."
}
melodyHarmonizedWithTies = \relative c'' {
\time 3/4
g2.^"3. Harmonized with ties: lyrics do not follow voice 1, and ties
are missing in voice 2"
<<
\relative c'' { \voiceOne g8 a f2 ~ | 2. }
\relative c' { 2. ~ | 2. }
>> | \oneVoice
e2.
\bar "|."
}
melodyHarmonizedLV = \relative c'' {
\time 3/4
g2.^"4. Harmonized, LV in voice 2: Extra LV in voice 1"

\relative c'' { \voiceOne g8 a f2 ~ | 2. }
\relative c' { 2. \laissezVibrer | 2. }

I only discovered the opus-infinity site after I'd had written my version, otherwise I'm not sure I'd have bothered. Correcting this error is in my To Do list. Interestingly there is no indication of the first and second endings in the English Instructions of the edition I was working from so I guess this code is authentically wrong. Which brings up the bigger question of author intent versus publisher error but I suspect no-one really wants to open that particular can o'worms.

Thanks. I had a hard time finding this in the manual.
With quotation marks, you can break a lot of the rules:
\version "2.19.83"
"Anything?! { c'4 } " = { c'4 }
{ \"Anything?! { c'4 } " }
Whether it is prudent to do such a thing is another matter. (:

From NR:
"The name of a [LilyPond-]variable should have alphabetic characters
only; no numbers, underscores or dashes."
Those are the _allowed_ ones. Not sure whether the NR is still correct
about underscores and dashes, though.
No numbers, because they would be understood as durations.
Anyway, there are possibilities to name things using signs which are
not yet forbidden and can't yet be misunderstood.
Example:
my-first-rest¹ = { r1 }
Note the "yet"!! It may change in future versions.
Cheers,
Harm

Re: [OT] dicemusic -- a common-lisp generator of lilypond scores
Hi Mark, thanks for sharing. It's always good to know about people using CL. I'm an avid CL user for many years and maintain some packages. If you're interested, drop me a note off-list and we can share ideas. In case this is unintentional: Rather than "Eine Kleine Waltzer" you'd say "Ein kleiner Walzer" in German (you can capitalize the "kleiner" if you prefer). -- Orm Am Sonntag, den 29.
