This. This is exactly why I read the lists far less and respond far less. I have no clue when it comes to scheme. Most of the responses involve functions or macros or whatever they're called, but generally, when something starts off with #(, I checkout mentally because whatever follows will take me at least a half an hour (if at all) to understand what I, in my less sophisticated understanding of lilypond would have done with \set or \override. In fact, I make very few changes to lilypond (one of its advantages), and when I see something like #(, I just search the documentation a little bit harder for the \set or \override that will most likely have the same effect. Heck, \tweak usually too advanced for me to understand. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
