About the "macro/identifier/variable" concept: I meant: this does not work%% xx= \italic \score { { a^\markup { \xx hi } } } %% in spite of this being ok: %% \score { { a^\markup{ \italic hi } } } %% This shows (i assume) that the assigment of a identifier si not a static sustitution as (a textual macro, a C #define). I'd like to understand better what it is... Another example:I recommend that you look at 2.3.1 Music expressions explained in the documentation for version 2.11.
Actually, in this particular situation, the main insight is that text markup commands are handled differently than other commands
or macros. The details of how text markup commands are implemented and how you can add your own is provided in Sect. "Markup programmer interface". /Mats _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
