Using Scheme

[Trent Johnston]

Hello,

 

I was wondering if someone could help me in using scheme to make a short cut.

 

I'm trying to simplify:

 

\once \override Beam #'positions = #'( number . number )

 

using a shortcut say \manBeam and specify the numbers beginning and ending beam height. I want to use this to alter the height of beams that have accidentals in them or lengthen some shorter beams.

 

In 5.4 Advanced tweaks with scheme gives some information about using only the one variable as in the padText example.

 

Any help appreciated.
