Personally, I think it would make more sense if people just placed
assignments to output-filename and output-suffix inside of the book's
paper block. That's straightforward to understand and does not require
keeping magical ordering relations in mind. \bookOutputName is more
like a compatibility API. A courtesy to keep around, but not as
straightforward in its implications.
this works:
bigMargin = \paper { top-margin = 10 \cm }
\book {
\paper {
\bigMargin
#(define output-filename "output-filename")
}
\relative {c d e f}
}
Ugh. Why don't you write
\paper {
\bigMargin
output-filename = "output-filename"
}
I found this weird expression in the docs - other forms are not
mentioned. I will gladly apply the simple form now!
this not (because of the order):
\book {
\paper {
#(define output-suffix "output-filename")
\bigMargin
}
\relative {c d e f}
}
Hardly surprising now, is it, if you write it as _assignment_ rather
than as some weird Scheme block?
putting the assignment before \bigMargin still produces an error and the
output returns to default.
output-suffix is mentioned in Usage, Snippets and NR; output-filename
can not be found
I was not suggesting that the documentation was already in a useful
state. Rather I was suggesting _how_ we should preferably fix it.
we're on the way, aren't we!?
