I can store variables with symbol-list? names like so:
\version "2.19.80"
my.note.one = { c'4 }
my.note.two = { d'2 }
{
\my.note.one
\my.note.two
\my.note.one
}
It is also possible to store functions in such variables:
my.function =
#(define-music-function ()()
#{ c'4 #})
However, it is not possible to *call* the function like retrieving the
value above:
{
\my.function
}
yields "warning: ignoring non-music expression".
But I can do
{
#(#{ \my.function #})
}
My impression is that "\my.function" by itself retrieves the value, i.e.
the stored function, rather than applying it, while the last example
goes around some corners to actually doing what I want.
I would like to find a smoother syntax to invoking functions like this
because I'd like to explore the possibility to create a namespace of
functions like \mylib.function-one, \mylib.function-two etc. But it
would only make sense if there's a really easy end-user syntax, and to
get there I'd have to first understand what is actually happening (in
the parser?) when \my.function is encountered.
I didn't see where this (rather new) option is documented, so I'd be
happy about any pointers or even examples.
Thanks
Urs
