Re: consolidate code

[MING TSANG]

Hi all, 

I further reduce the code to 53 lines.  line 4 - 20 & line 24 - 40  are identical except line 14 vs line  34.   The actual code for notes is only 8 lines ( 45 - 52).  I think I cannot reduce anymore in order to show my problem and request.

Again  to ask:

problem 1: I am expecting all numbers (jianpu) on top of the letters (solfege) - on bar 1 and bar 3 they are reversed; is it possible to solve?

request 2: Is it possible to combine lins 4-20 & lines 24-40 into one define variable so that line 14 and line 34 can be access by parameter or by if statement?

Emmanuel,

Ming.

OK - so this "tiny" example is 107 lines of code.

In this case, I think that there might be a misunderstanding.  Cutting the example down further wouldn't convey one of the problems the OP is having, I think.  Namely, that the .ly file contains a function which he has had to repeat several times for the sake of tiny modifications.  He's wondering if it can be expressed more simply as a function that takes arguments to cut down on the repetition.

Unfortunately, I'm not at a machine where I can help at the moment.

Best,
