Hi, all
I was pleasantly astounded that lilypond allows for things like
boo = { \once { \override NoteHead.color = #red } }
and then "mark up" notes sporadically, with \boo cis' .... .... \boo d
But here's what I want (give me an inch, I'll want a lightyear!)
I want the ability to distribute the effect of "\boo" to a SET of notes.
Such as \boo { dis' e' fis' g' }
where all the four notes are affected by boo.
I tried using
boo = { \override NoteHead.color = #red }
and then \boo dis' e' fis' g \revert
but that, of course, is incorrect syntax.
So what gives? Such a wonderful thing as a "modular markup" and yet
it's a hair away from being hyperglorious only because you cannot
parametrize it, or make it distributive to a set.
By the way, can someone please tell me what the above is called, in
lilypond jargon.
I also realize that in lilypond, the term "markup" is reserved for text,
and I think that's unfortunate, because it's a broader concept, that
would include the phenomenon I am refferring to here.
It would be amazingly cool if you could feed parameters into \boo
This would then be an awesome hybrid of markup+algorithmic syntax
(am I off my rocker!??)
