You stated "I get a GUILE error on line 5" with "$(let ..." which was _not_ the version in the LSR but _only_ the version provided by Paul. Later on you state that this version worked fine. >> You don't make things easier for other people if your reports don't >> match what you are actually doing, > > > That is incorrect, I reported exactly what I did - I got a GUILE error > (on an old snippet version) And the reported quoted source code fragment did not match the version in the LSR but rather the version Paul provided and _which_ _worked_. > - I probably should have posted the code, then it would have been > clear straight away - but it wasn't a copy and paste problem. So why then did you _first_ state that Paul's version did not work, including a quote of _Paul's_ version rather than the LSR? _That's_ when I stated I considered this likely a copy&paste error. And it apparently was. Either you did not properly copy&paste Paul's version when trying it out, or you did not properly copy&paste the resulting error message when trying (without telling anybody) the LSR version. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
