I have been using #(use-modules (srfi srfi-19)) today = #(date->string (current-date) "~B ~d, ~Y")
to get the current date so I can include that in the tagline of my music. This does cause the message WARNING: #f: imported module (srfi srfi-19) overrides core binding `current-time' in the log, but it didn't seem to cause any problems. This usually works great, but on one particular tune that uses many \once \override Beam #'positions = #'(-2.5 . -3.0) this would cause Lilypond to fail with the message ERROR: Wrong type (expecting pair): () It was almost driving me crazy, since I thought the error came from the overrides themselves, using pairs and all. The really strange thing is that using a single beam override caused no error, using a few printed the error but still generated correct output, and using even more would cause Lilypond to generate no output at all. Obviously this is caused by some strange Guile interactions that I don't understand. However, shouldn't there be a standard way of getting a formatted date in Lilypond? Or maybe there is, and I just haven't found it yet. -- Sven Axelsson _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
