If you mean the manual page http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/Music-properties.html then absolutely. Music expressions (that you manipulate when using a music function) have properties, which can be accessed with `ly:music-property'. > 2.

The `def-markup-command' macro does a couple of thing: - it "registers" the command, so that the parser can know what to do when \markup \MYCOMMAND ... is encountered - it defines a make-MYCOMMAND-markup function - some internal things, such as the actual markup function definition. When the \bold markup command is defined with def-markup-command, a `make-bold-markup' function is also defined, that you can use to programmatically build a bold markup: (make-bold-markup "foo"). Note that this is equivalent to writing: (markup #:bold "foo"). See scm/new-markups.scm. > Can you comment on either of these two points so I can do more of this > on my own? Note that in the case of \one, something like one=\markup \number 1 will be enough! nicolas _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
