I am a total neophyte to Scheme, but not to coding. I’ve written a simple
function, but it does not work (I’ve reduced it to just the problematic lines.
Can anyone tell me how to write the line indicated below?
shifter =
#(define-music-function
(parser location padding)
(number?)
#{
\once \override Accidental.extra-offset = #(cons padding . 0) %<- THIS LINE
#}
)
The relevant errors it throws when invoked are:
error: GUILE signaled an error for the expression beginning here
warning: type check for `extra-offset' failed; value `#<unspecified>' must be
of type `pair of numbers’
The closest thing I can find to explaining how this works is here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/extending/scheme-function-definitions
But I’m apparently missing something very obvious.
