Passing pitch to function

What am-I doing wrong here… ☹ \version "2.25.6" \language "english" #(define instrumentsInfo '( (piccolo . ((fullName "Piccolo") (transposition #{bf'#}))) )) instrumentInfoLookup = #(define-scheme-function (instrument info) (symbol? symbol?) (car (cdr (assq info (cdr (assq

Hello Pierre-Luc, It works for me if I copy and paste your code. Can you maybe attach a ly file that does not work for you? Cheers, Valentin Am Donnerstag, 15. Juni 2023, 18:25:37 CEST schrieb Pierre-Luc Gauthier: > What am-I doing wrong here… ☹ > > \version "2.25.6" > > \language "english"

And indeed I tried (brute force) all the quoting permutations… except yours Jean. Thank you very much. I will re-thoroughly read the manual ! :-) Le jeu. 15 juin 2023, à 12 h 46, Jean Abou Samra a écrit : > > Le jeudi 15 juin 2023 à 12:25 -0400, Pierre-Luc Gauthier a écrit : > >'( > (p

Re: Grace note spacing & alignment in score

Hi, Here is a hack, and among the various things to be fixed, the beam thickness of the fake grace notes needs to be checked more carefully against the 'real' grace notes. I calculated the starting point of the fake grace according to the percussion part, so it begins on the upbeat of the 3rd beat.

Re: Passing pitch to function

Okay, I understand the problem. Basically what’s happening is this: You are doing #(define instrumentsInfo '( (piccolo . ((fullName "Piccolo") (transposition #{bf'#}))) )) and intend it to be a shorthand for #(define instrumentsInfo (list (cons 'piccolo (list (l
