sly

[David Raleigh Arnold]

New ptfilter.sed for sly.

I changed the simple substitution to use "<>" instead of "*" as
the target and added "<<>>" to repeat the previous chord in the
line.  Also I anticipate no problems in substituting "%" for "@".

Added "{}", which expands to "{ }", to be able to write a word
with spaces in it.

The capitals are gone.  Seemed like a good idea at the time. :-)

IMHO lyinclude is the best way to write the spreadsheet data
into a lilypond file, because lyinclude will write in everything
whether or not a part or file is processed by sly, so if you
have woodwind.sly, brass.sly, percussion.sly, etc. etc., and
you also want ./mymacros.ly written in, then, assuming that sly
has already been run so the \included files exist, all
will be written in with:

$ lyinclude nameofformatfile > new.ly

This way one could also write all the parts into all the pieces in
a lilypond-book file also.

lylilypondfile isn't done yet.  DaveA

-- 
...New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still, and onward, who would keep abreast of truth;
Lo, before us gleam her camp-fires! we ourselves must Pilgrims be;
Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea;
Nor attempt the Future's portal with the Past's blood-rusted key.
      ---James Russell Lowell:  "The Present Crisis" 1844.
