The replacement would of course be done per-instantiation, not globally. >> Then you can use let and closures inside of the initialize function >> in order to declare variables local to the functions of one engraver >> instance. > > I think the local variables will be bound to the wrong thing, and if > two instances of the Scheme engraver do this, they will share their > local variables, with interesting effects. No, they won't share their local variables since both instances had their own call of the initialization function, and consequently their own closures with their own local variables from the let inside of the initialization function. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
