Hi David (et al.),
This is both amazingly embarassing and incredibly encouraging…
When I wrote
>> I’d rather do something like
>> title = #'(Two Ukrainian Courting Tunes:" "A Minuet & Scherzo”)
>> and then be able to say
>> \markup \one-line \title
>> \markup \multi-line \title
the first line was intended to be pseudo-code (even ignoring, for the moment,
the actual unintended non-pseudo-mistake of excluding the opening quotes).
Firstly, I didn’t think my list-or-pair-or-whatever was legal code in any
language, never mind Lily-friendly Scheme. Secondly, I had no idea that
functions I use every day in Lily code — e.g., \line and \center-column — could
be applied to a Scheme list-or-pair-or-whatever. Thirdly, I certainly had no
idea that they would do *EXACTLY* what I was asking for. =)
1. Thank you David for your helpful answer. I guess it really *was* a
“softball”, and I didn’t know it!
2. Lilypond continues to amaze and impress me.
Now the next wrinkle… It doesn’t work “out of the box” as I had hoped:
\version "2.19"
\language "english"
\paper {
bookTitleMarkup = \markup \fill-line \abs-fontsize #24 \override
#'(baseline-skip . 2.25) \center-column \fromproperty #'header:title
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \abs-fontsize #12 \line \fromproperty #'header:title
}
\header {
title = #'("Part one" "Part two")
}
\score { << \new Staff { R1 } >> }
What do I need to fix here?
Thanks!
Kieren.
