Hi all,
this time I am really really delving into LilyPond, I am very much impressed
with the notation quality of the recent versions. I am trying to set an organ
piece with many repetitive notes in it, and to get a grasp on the underlying
structure of Lilypond.
Many measures have note patterns like this one:
e8 g16 e g8 e g16 e g8 e g
so, two notes or chords played alternatively with the rhythm |8 16 16 8 | 8 16
16 8 | 8 8 | (in time 8/8).
What would be an efficient way to create those patterns using a scheme
function, so that I could write:
\pat a c
or:
\pat <a e> <c g>
I am fiddling with the example from the manual[1]:
pattern = #(define-music-function (parser location x y) (ly:music? ly:music?)
#{
$x e8 a b $y b a e
#})
but when I try to add or change a duration (like $x 8 $y 16 etc.) I get syntax
errors, so probably I must try to build the lilypond music expression fully
from within scheme?
Is there anyone with some experience on this who could point me in the correct
direction?
