Thank you Simon!
You're inspiring a follow up question:could one make a function in scheme
that splits on | and transforms my input into your example then?
\parallelMusicExtended #'((chordmode . chords) voiceA (lyricmode .
lyricsOne) (lyricmode . lyricsTwo)) {
c2. |
c2 e8 c |
ma -- zing __ _ |
grace that __ _ |
c2.:7/g |
e2 d4 |
grace how |
taught my |
}
and that'll call what you typed? Is that a thing?
(I mean: it looks at each pair, and if it's (foo bar) it uses \foo for
variable bar)
I seem to recall the | in parallelMusic is not a real barcheck, it's just a
segmentation point, I've used this before, when I occasionally need a
couple bars because of my baree macros, for example (you can't open brace,
then use | inside, so if the barree spans a couple bars, I just put the |
at the second bar's end, and all seems to work just fine).
