Scheme is a dialect of Lisp (and Guile is a dialect of Scheme), so you should definitely consult the sources mentioned here: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/contributor/lilypond-programming-languages The Guile Reference Manual is _extremely_ helpful, as is examining the code in .ly and .scm files in the Lilypond distribution. In making your example work, I had to make a number of changes to the names of procedures (for example, defun --> define, list-length --> length) because these aren't defined in Guile. In the attached file, I've shown you how you can express your function in several very similar ways, and call it from the custom markup command. One of the variants of "mylist" uses lambda, the others one of the alternatives described here: http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Lambda-Alternatives.html#Lambda-Alternatives Do you think this is a useful approach? > Well, if you enjoy programming and learning Scheme, why not! As for practicality: if this will save you (and others) time, make creating a score less tedious, then it is certainly useful. HTH, David
