Re: Fun with \include "english.ly"

[Thomas J. Dillman]

After some experimentation.  I've discovered that the problem was doing 
the include inside a {} block.
english.ly defines a variable, which, it seems, can't be done inside a 
block.  I didn't see anything on this in the tutorial or manual.  Did I 
miss something obvious?
