Don't ask me how it is done, but at least that's how it works in lilypond: lilypond -e '(display (string->list (format "abc~sdef" "ffff")))' prints (a b c " f f f f " d e f) So, apparently, format simply returned the string properly formatted. (Of course, I had tried out my sample code before posting it on the mailing list, in particular since I'm absolutely new to scheme).
