Hi all,
I just stumbled over a terminology issue: are "procedure" and
"function"
synonyms in Scheme or do they refer to different things?
The Guile reference manual uses the term procedure
So what does it mean when we have
define-scheme-function
That is the name of scheme procedure (or macro actually) that the
LilyPond developers chose; I think the Guile manual is consistent in
calling them procedures.
So the choice of these names is actually an inconsistency in LilyPond's
terminology?
I'm asking this because I have just completed a tutorial about
define-music-function and its siblings, and I realized that I used the
terms function and procedure in an arbitrary mix.
Now I think that I should follow the consistency of the Guile manual ,
use "procedure" everywhere in my text and point out the inconsistency in
naming.
