Hi List, for conciseness the example should be reduced even more (if someone wants to post it to LSR I'd recommend this version).
%circled-pattern #(define-markup-command (circled-pattern layout props radius angle num arg) (number? number? number? string?) (interpret-markup layout props (fold (lambda (i prev) (markup (#:combine (#:rotate (* i (/ angle num)) (#:concat (#:null #:hspace radius arg))) prev))) (markup (#:null)) (iota (1+ num)))))) % Test (markup a 180° circled pattern with radius 5 and 17 dots) : \markup\circled-pattern #5 #180 #16 #"." % an upside down pattern can be achieved with a negative angle: \markup\circled-pattern #5 #-180 #16 #"." _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
