Are your scheme skills decent? You could probably achieve most of the functionality you describe by playing around with the callback I attached to this post: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2010-04/msg00152.html What I don't know how to do is how to detect the range of music in the current system, so that part of it might require some more advanced coding. But even without that, you could still fashion a useful solution entirely in scheme. - Mark _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
