hello list,
in my score i have a series of markups all with the same format, for
example something like:
\markup { \hspace #-1.6 \lower #3 \sans "1" }
\markup { \hspace #-1.6 \lower #3 \sans "2" }
\markup { \hspace #-1.6 \lower #3 \sans "3" }
etc.
so i decided to create a function to save typing and to be consistent.
i wrote the following expecting that it would work, but it didn't:
\version "2.17.18"
tiempo = #(define-music-function (parser location secs) (string?)
#{ \markup { \hspace #-1.6 \lower #3 \sans #secs } #})
{ c''4\tiempo "1" }
reading the documentation i found something that i could adapt, and i came
up with this:
\version "2.17.18"
tiempo = #(define-music-function (parser location secs) (string?)
#{ <>_\markup { \hspace #-1.6 \lower #3 \sans #secs } #})
{ \tiempo "1" c''4 }
now, that *does* work, but i don't understand why it does nor why the first
example doesn't. is there anything in the documentation that i should read
more carefully to understand this?
thank you as always,
lj
