OK. I have to confess I haven't understood yet how the backquote works. IIUC, it 'quotes all the keys in the alist, and then I have to ,unquote the ones i want to actually use as variables? > You can see the same syntax in define-grobs.scm for grob callbacks. Yes I can (but then again, seeing is not necessarily understanding :) Would you, by any chance, have an idea about how to make it possible to have c1\startSpan "spanner attached to note" c1\endSpan without using a music function? (If you do have an idea, this would also be useful for Graham's compound dynamics.) Hmm, I suspect it would probably require a new ly:make-attached-function C++ implementation, since currently the only way we have to take an argument is through a music-function, which thereby obliges us to enter it *before* the note (and not after like normal dynamics or spanners).
