Dear LilyPond users, when working on LilyPond projects that require scheme coding, I sometimes find it convenient to collect scheme definitions in an external (but project specific) .scm file.
Currently, I then simply call guile's "load" function to include it. Typical minimal setup: --- file my-scheme-defs.scm (same directory as master.ly) --- ;;; scheme definitions... --- file master.ly --- \version "2.16.0" #(load "my-scheme-defs.scm") %% do something ... --- This, however, only works when calling lilypond on master.ly from that same directory. The load command looks for the .scm file in the present working directory, but not in the directory containing the including file. No such restriction applies with the \include command, which works exactly as expected. And in fact I like to occasionally compile a .ly file from a different directory, usually to collect output files from a run with non-standard parameters. So I'm looking for a reasonably concise method to make this work with scheme loads, too. One obvious solution would be to shell out '#' prefixes and put everything into LilyPond include files, but that's not really pretty, if only because editors do a better job at syntax highlighting and indentation with pure scheme files than with embedded scheme code. Is there a better way?
