It is going to the wrong place. At the very least, it should go to current-output-port (as a function called from Scheme), but it bypasses everything and goes straight to stdout. The normal thing for it would be to get an optional port argument defaulting to current-output-port. Whether or not it does the interpretation #f -> returned string, #t -> current-output-port that format does is not all that important. That would be nice but optional. But stdout is not the right place to use for a Scheme function. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
