People,
David took this discussion off-list and then accused me of not having
the guts to respond on-list . . so here the reply I sent him:

I get a GUILE error on line 5
$(let
anyway . . I tried changing it to:
$@(let
but that didn't work either (obviously I don't know what I'm
doing . .)
Regards,
Phil.
You did not, I repeat _not_ mention in any way that you used any code
other than that which was quoted here (actually stating "Here it is
after running convert-ly (from 2.14.0 to 2.18.0):"
They are Paul's words - not mine - as I have repeatedly said now - I
forgot to run the convert-ly myself and I missed that comment in
Paul's note . .
Then tell Paul not to undersign his mails with "Regards, Phil" and send
them from your address.
Paul's email:

Paul, that is a great little bit of code! Thank you for sharing
that...I'm
going to play around with it later today. :)
Glad you like it, but David Kastrup gets the credit for it:

I just changed it from a set of 12 chromatic notes to those in C major
and
added \transpose. Maybe it's worth adding it to the LSR... hmmm...
looks
like there's already a random note generator there:
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=274
It generates notes in the current key from (middle) c' up to g''
Here it is after running convert-ly (from 2.14.0 to 2.18.0):
\version "2.18.0"
\score {
{
$(let ((random-state (seed->random-state (current-time))))
(make-sequential-music
(map (lambda (x)
(let ((idx (random 12 random-state)))
(make-event-chord
(list
(make-music 'NoteEvent
'duration (ly:make-duration 2 0 1/1)
'pitch (ly:make-pitch
(quotient idx 7)
(remainder idx 7)
0))))))
(make-list 24))))
}
}

You did not mention what code you used
Are you talking about which snippet or which version of Lilypond? - I
think it was clear that I was using the snippet from the link that
Paul provided.
You didn't: the error message you cited _clearly_ is not from the code
provided in the link. It does match the code you quoted, but what you
tested was a half-botched combination of old and new code.
Yes, I made a mistake thinking that the snippet was exactly what Paul
posted.
and where this error message was
from.
What do you mean? - The error message came from attempting to compile
the snippet from LSR.
No, it didn't. The snippet from the LSR does not contain $(let
... anywhere.
Yes, I have already explained that, I said that I tested it once
unchanged - got an error message, tested it again with the '#' changed
to '$' - still got the error message . . also as I said if I had posted
the original snippet, there would not have been an issue . .
It was absolutely impossible to guess that you were testing
anything other than what you quoted.
I think it was clear I was testing the snippet from LSR.
You weren't. The snippet from the LSR does not contain $(let
... anywhere.
Previously expained . .
You did not, at any time, in spite of repeated notices that you
failed to provide the problematic source and the actual error
messages, provide this missing information until quite a bit of time
later.
I think you are misreading what I wrote.
No, I didn't.
So now it is clear - we have both made mistakes - I have admitted mine
but you won't admit yours:
- not posting the reminder about convert-ly
- misreading a note as Phil instead of Paul
and those are just the ones I know about . .
Now if you can't admit those, then (now that we are off the list) what
this argument has been about is: "dick-swinging" - OK yours is bigger
than mine - you are right - you have never made mistakes, your brain is
too big . .
Regards,
Phil.
