Very amusing! But what about B, C, D, E, F, G, K (an APL derivative), L (several), R, S, T (a Scheme dialect) to name a few? Seriously now, APL had special keyboards with the symbols which were wondrous to behold. And indeed, J was constructed in recognition of the divine impracticality of it:

Thanks to Simon and Abraham. I found the quoted reference on my own, but I need something which can be applied to several single bars throughout the music. It is the lyrics which are distorting just a few bars. I had hoped there would be a snippet I am unable to find. Is there one? TIA.

Indeed. I did manage to miss the Score.quotedCueEventTypes part of the docs before, my error. I'd prefer not to have to list the events in this way, I just want everything included, and listing them sets up the potential for error, in omitting some. As I indicated earlier, I don't know whether

Putting flatten-ly into your lilypond installation

If you want to put flatten-ly into your lilypond installation, copy it to the lilypond installation bin directory, and make a symbolic link to the lilypond guile wrapper in your bin directory where the other lilypond tools are. For example: $ cp flatten-ly ~/lilypond/usr/bin $ ln -s ~/bin/lilyp

Hi Johan, Unless you enjoy writing Scheme as much as I do! Scheme is perfectly fine for utility programs. It may be less maintainable for the hoi polloi - but then, the same can be said of llypond! :-) While guile is aimed at being an extension language, don't forget that Scheme was taught at

Tilde expansion in \include

While writing flatten-ly to recursively flatten nested include files, I notice that lilypond 2.19.25 (at least) does not honour ~ in a path name, and throws a fatal error. The NR says you can say: \include "~/libA/libA.ly” Am I missing something? Setting this has no effect (and why should it?
