Re: repeat syntax

[Palmer, Ralph]

Aha! I have been unable to reference an external file in a \score block
if the external file had a space or a digit in it. (Running LilyPond
2.11.13 under Windows XP Pro, SP 2.) For example:

Test1 music.ly is:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.11.23"
\include "english.ly"



Test1 = {
        \key d \minor
        \clef treble
        \time 4/4

c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4
c''4 c''4

}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

and Test.ly is:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.11.23"
\include "english.ly"


\layout {
        ragged-right = ##t
        }


\score {
        \Test1
}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Test.ly fails. I just tried them with quotes around Test1 in both files,
and it still failed. Is there a way to get Lilypond to recognize digits
(i.e., numerics) in a /score block?

There's no difference. As far as I can recall, it has never been
necessary to have quotes in this particular situations, but there are
some other cases where quotes are necessary, for example if you want to
name a context and the name has spaces or digits in it:

\new Staff = "violin 2" {c''}

You can find the same kind of confusing mix of quoted and non-quoted
strings in the manual when it shows how to add or remove engravers from
a context, for example.
