The point to note is that either way this phrase is not complete without a following music expression with which it will then form a new, tweaked music expression. > in a very large number of chords, and often several times in one chord > in my current large and complex score.

Please, please, please _always_ back up any such statements by including a minimal example that you would have expected to work. Event functions work perfectly well inside of a chord. They are however near useless for tweaking accidentals either in- or outside of chords since accidentals don't, as a rule, occur in post-events (one rather obscure exception being pitched trills). And tweaks _also_ work perfectly well inside of a chord. So it is not clear just what problem you were experiencing here. > [As an aside, it’s not a matter of changing the accidental style in > use, dodecaphonic.

That might be preferable to applying tweaks everywhere, even with a simpler way of doing the tweaks (there are several other replies already covering that angle exhaustively). It might be more technically involved but would likely keep your source code cleaner and the MIDI matching the intent. But this would actually require an example of what you are trying to do with what code. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Macro or abbreviation
Dear Thomas,
This is absolutely precisely what I have been looking for. So it was not
entirely a stupid question of mine after all!
Many sincere thanks to David Kastrup for his continuing supreme efforts in
lilypond development.
Andrew

Re: Macro or abbreviation
Hello Andrew,
You can get inspiration from the following.
JM
%1
Uncomment the second line to let LP do the line breaking by itself. The first
definition is useful to keep line breaks as in the original score, useful to
control your work:
myBreak = {\break}
%myBreak = {}
%2
I use such variables for custom fingerings for the bass guitar, including the
caret to simplify the typing:
UN_B = ^\tweak self-alignment-X #CENTER -\markup\large\bold\with-color
#magenta "1B"
UN_B_PAR = ^\tweak self-alignment-X #CENTER -\markup\large\bold\with-color
#magenta "(1B)"
{ \clef "bass" c \UN_B_PAR }

Hi Andrew,
you post your request on the user-list, thus I assume you don't ask
for extending the source code but for a custom solution.
In 2.18.2 you can do
omitAcc =
#(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?)
#{ \tweak Accidental.stencil ##f $music #})
Thanks David Kastrup 2.19.24 allows for:
omitAcc = \tweak Accidental.stencil ##f \etc
{ < \omitAcc cis' ces'' > }
Cheers,
Harm

Macro or abbreviation
Hello Ponderers, It seems the topic of macros and abbreviations in lilypond source comes up from time to time and engenders all sorts of complex debate, so I am slightly wary of asking this question. I need to say: \tweak Accidental.stencil ##f in a very large number of chords, and often several times in one chord in my current large and complex score. The score is becoming cluttered with this repeated command, and it’s quite a lot of typing when you have so many to type. I naively tried to make this an event function, but that does not work inside a chord. [As an aside, it’s not a matter of changing the accidental style in use, dodecaphonic. I need to turn off selected accidentals in the dodecaphonic style when I join notes using a custom grace note slur function I have, that does not behave the same way as ‘proper’ slurs do.] Is there a way to make this into a macro, or abbreviate it in some way? I am not referring to making a keystroke macro in Frescobaldi, but a language level shorter form, for convenience. I hope this question does not trigger a torrent of comments saying this is a Bad Thing (TM).
