It's not difficult to add a feature in ly2dvi to first run the input files through a preprocessor like m4 or cpp, if there's a public demand for it. Adding another macro language within Lilypond, on the other hand, sounds like a silly idea. In input/les-nereides.ly, you can find an example on how to use cpp as a preprocessor. /Mats _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
