Re: Issue 2336 in lilypond: Patch: Add layout changing command \layout-from for getting context defs from music

[Jean-Charles Malahieude]

Ok, what do people say to the following:
a) rename settingsFrom to \context-like
b) rename \layout-from to \output-like

Then we may do things like
\midi {
  \Score { \context-like { \tempo 4 = 80 } }
}
\layout {
  \output-like { \accidentalStyle modern }
}

Is that better than xxx-from ?

I totally agree.

It is an evidence that \context-like deals with "contexts" and,
from a non English native user point of view, I know that "layout" deals
with printable; therefore I would get confused to be allowed to mention
"\layout-from" in a midi block...

Cheers,
Jean-Charles
