Re: defining custom note heads

[Eric Knapp]

I have one more piece of the puzzle to solve. How do you translate
this markup command into scheme?

  \draw-line #'(4 . 4)

Some of the markup commands call for pairs of numbers. I can't find
any docs for how the pairs are coded in scheme.

Thanks,

-Eric
