Re: can Score.markFormatter be [globally] blanked, independent of other RehearsalMark items?

Hi David and Harm,

Thanks for the replies.

Well at tleast that’s something I can take to heart as I try to teach myself 
Scheme…

The two differences I immediately see between my function

(define-public (format-mark-null mark context)
  (make-null-markup))

and Harm’s function

#(define (format-mark-null mark context)
 (make-null-markup))

are the presence or absence of a leading # (which I did not originally add 
because I was trying to copy exactly the related functions I found in 
scm/translation-functions.scm), and the fact that mine is 'define-public' while 
Harm’s is simply ‘define’; I figure(d) one of those must be the difference, 
since Harm’s code works and mine doesn’t. Not immediately obvious from the 
copied code, but explained in the OP, is the third difference: that I added my 
function to a file in scm/translation-functions.scm (whereas Herm’s is 
“inline”).

I will be interested to see what the culprit is.

Thanks,
Kieren.
