Looking for documentation for constants
Hello, This is a very basic question. I have see some examples that use constants like "$SELECTION" or ""$CURSOR'$ANCHOR". but despite doing all the obvious things (searching the documentation, etc.) I've not found any relevant information. I would sincerely appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Many thanks.

Re: Conditional Complilation
THanks to all who have offered ideas. I think the "bookpart" approach will
be quite effective for me.
I sincerely appreciate both the competence and the willingness to share of
this fantastic community.

Conditional Complilation
Hi All,
>From time to time I would like to include / exclude portions of the total
score. For now, in the crudest of ways, I just comment out the parts I
don't want (%{ . %}). That works, of course, but I was wondering if
there was a more elegant way.
Ideally I would have some variable that I set to boolean #t or #f to
indicate what I want included. Then, instead of the %{ %} if would
be something like
if includeFlag { ... }
Then I wouldn't have to search around for where I'd included the comment
start and end brackets.
I found the scheme if function but it didn't seem like an option.
Many thanks in advance.

define-markup-command
Hi All,
Thanks to Jean Abou Samra I can now create \markup that goes to a place in
a youtube video.
These are of the form:
fis4^\markup \with-url#"https://youtu.be...?t=SEC"; {ref} where "SEC" is
replaced with the number of seconds in from the start.
I would like to create a function to simplify things so instead of having
the entire URL repeated everywhere, would have something that looks like
fis4^\mymk "215".
So far, I remain entirely confused about creating a new markup command. I
won't bother describing my many failed attempts. I am clearly missing some
basic concepts. I have no problem creating scheme functions to do various
manipulations, but extending the markup function has eluded me.
Any guidance would be most appreciated!

Creating Text with Hyperlinks
Hello All, I would like to be able to add conventional text to a score, but provide associated hyperlinks in the PDF. FOr example, the title might have a hyperlink to a youtube video of the score being performed. So far, I've not found anything in the documentation that would support this functionality Ken Ledeen Mobile: 617-817-3183 www.nevo.com www.bitsbook.com tiny.cc/KenLedeen <https://kledeen.wixsite.com/kenledeen/>
Re: Lilypond Substitution Function
Jean,
Merci
This is a perfect solution, and, a clear explanation about why my solution
failed.
Thank you very much

Lilypond Substitution Function
I am struggling to understand the restrictions on substitution functions.
For example:
1) can a function include "\score { ...}" or can it only be invoked INSIDE
a \score?
2) is it possible to include \header { ...} inside a substitution
function? It fails when I try, but I don't understand why.
I assume I am missing some basic concepts regarding their use.
Thanks!
