Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me in using scheme to make a
short cut.
I'm trying to simplify:
\once \override Beam #'positions = #'( number . number )
using a shortcut say \manBeam and specify the numbers beginning and
ending beam height. I want to use this to alter the height of beams
that have accidentals in them or lengthen some shorter beams.
In 5.4 Advanced tweaks with scheme gives some information about using
only the one variable as in the padText example.
I'm not sure what corresponds to that in the 2.8.2 manual but padText
may exist because of help I got from Nicolas Sceaux. Here is my code
for textPad. You might be able to create what you want from this:
#(use-modules (ice-9 optargs))
#(define* (textPad padding #:optional once?)
(ly:export ; this is necessary for using the expression
; directly inside a block
(if once?
#{ \once \override TextScript #'padding = #$padding #}
#{ \override TextScript #'padding = #$padding #})))
