Hi, Francesco,


you mean like this:

\include "applyRhythm-1.1.ily"
brahmsify =
#(define-music-function (parser location note) (ly:music?)
  #{ <<
        <<
           \applyRhythm #"8 4 8" { $note \transpose c c' $note $note }
           \applyRhythm #"8 4 8" { s( s s) }
        >> \\
        \transpose c c, \applyRhythm #"2" $note
     >> #})

{
  \brahmsify f'
  \brahmsify g'
  \brahmsify c'
}

where the included "applyRhythm-1.1.ily" is the one I sent in just my 
very last mail on this list 
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-11/msg00598.html)? :-)

It's not polished yet, but that's exactly what I want to be able to do 
with this snippet. Well, as you can see, I am, but I want a cleaner 
syntax somehow. So far, feel free to use it this way.


Cheers,
Alexander
