Hello, Does it work just to define this macro at the top level
fraction = \tweak #'text #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text and then later in the music to write \fraction \times 2/3 { c'8 c'8 c'8 } Does LilyPond swallow that? -- Tom ------------------------------------------------- Trevor Baca wrote: Hi, I frequently write \tweak #'text #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text before tuplets, like this: \tweak #'text #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text \times 2/3 { c'8 c'8 c'8 } What's the best way to abbreviate to something like this? \fraction \times 2/3 { c'8 c'8 c'8 } I've tried this music function ... fraction = #(define-music-function (parser location) () #{ \tweak #'text #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text #}) ... but get this parse error: Parsing... <string>:3:9: error: syntax error, unexpected '}' }361.ly:5:0: error: errors found, ignoring music expression Any suggestions for a good abbreviation? -- Trevor BaÄ^Ía [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
