It's a continuation of this email: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-11/msg00439.html If he doesn't know what scheme is, then he clearly *hasn't* read the LM cover-to-cover yet. This means that he's missed some terminology, missed some of the possibilities of lilypond, and won't be able to communicate with the lilypond community as effectively. > > I leave it as an exercise for the reader.

You seem to be unfamiliar with the phrase "an exercise for the reader". The idea is that solving the problem is a useful exercise. > There have been 15 replies to Chip's > original message, and NO ONE has answered it yet. > This is embarrassing.

Look at { \displayMusic { a ais d dis } } to get some info about how lilypond treats pitches. The idea is to write a function that translates "a ais" into "d dis". 3. Modify the existing example so that instead of producing notes with few accidentals, it changes the notename by the desired interval. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
