Re: "functions" in lilypond

[José Luis Cruz]

I give you the response that Matt sent to me, because i think applies
well:


If you want to do these more advanced tricks, I'm afraid you have to
learn the basics of the Scheme language and use the Scheme interface
to Lilypond, see 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v1.8/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/Scheme-functions.html
There are some examples in the "Tips and tricks" and "Regression
tests" documents.

Look for example the code of molecule-hacking.ly available from the
regression tests page. There is a function.
