Howdy, y'all!

Just wondering if there's a way to define a directive/variable "inline"?

e.g.
....

[Result (n.b., the same as above) = a4 a a a g2 g c4 c c c g2 g]

or, better still, define it as (during) the first call:

stuff = \notes
{
    a4 a a a
    { g2 g } == innerDef
    c4 c c c
    \innerDef
}
[Result (n.b., the same as above) = a4 a a a g2 g c4 c c c g2 g]

The benefit, of course, would be that you would be able to keep 
similar definitions "inline" and "together" (e.g., notes in the \notes 
block, time switches in the \global block, etc.), and in a 
well-defined "scope", which could help reduce score complexity.

I put notes in separate \notes blocks and time switches in global blocks 
anyway irrelevant of the usefulness of inner definitions.  How do your 
inner definitions help this?  Example?
