elementary macro problem

I'm a fairly inexpert lilypond user. I've used simple macros before, but this one fails: thrice = \repeat unfold 3 it produces an error message: error: unknown escaped string: `\thrice' Minimal example: thrice = \repeat unfold 3 {\thrice {a b } } The same thing happens if I drop th

Re: elementary macro problem

If you're using 2.19, you might be able to use `thrice = \repeat unfold 3 \etc`. Otherwise, you'll have to use the explicit version. On 07/21/2017 04:22 PM, David Griffel wrote: I'm a fairly inexpert lilypond user. I've used simple macros before, but this one fails: thrice = \repeat unfold 3

Please add MusicBlocks to "Programs that export to Lilypond"

Hello, Music Blocks is a visual programming language for music developed by Walter Bender (SugarLabs), myself, and many kids around the globe. It exports to Lilypond, and Lilypond export has been a priority for us. We noticed this page for "Other programs that can export LilyPond code": http://l

Re: elementary macro problem

How about \repeat volta 2 { c1 d1 e1 \alternative {{d1} {f1}} }? IMO, that makes more sense both syntactically and semantically - the way I see it, that example is four measures repeated, with the last measure being different. With the current syntax, it's three measures repeated, and... wtf is

Another request : Please add OpenMusic to "Programs that export to Lilypond"

Hi , Another missing "programs that can export LilyPond code" is OpenMusic ( http://repmus.ircam.fr/openmusic/home ). Is it a is a visual programming language based on Lisp. I have written a library that can export OM score editors to Lilypond, with polytempi support, and more. It has

Re: elementary macro problem

Thank you, David and Simon, I see there's no straightforward solution, so I'll stick with the standard syntax. best wishes, David G On Fri, Jul 21, 2017 at 6:54 PM, Simon Albrecht wrote: > On 21.07.2017 16:22, David Griffel wrote: > >> I just want a short abbreviation of \repeat unfold >> > >

Re: Fwd: re: automatic beaming behavior

Thank you for your responses. In this case, we're looking to set up beaming rules that LilyPond does not follow by default (such as grouping consecutive eighth notes in pairs of two when in 4/4 time, rather than groups of four). David, your solution seems just like what we need based on what I've
