Thanks, that's brilliant. With this and Hairpin.shorten-pair I should
be able to solve most or all of the problems I often find with
hairpins.
I have read all the material in the list archive relating to this
function. Even so I don't really understand how it works. I have a
reasonable understanding of basic Scheme, but much less of the internal
working of Lilypond and how Lilypond and Scheme interract (and yes, I
have read the Extending manual more than once). Still, I think I
understand how to use the function, which is the main thing.
If anyone has the patience to explain the workings of the function I'd
be very interested. If not, I shan't blame you!
David
