Re: put footnote in a variable

[Gianmaria Lari]

Ahem.... I found another issue Aaron.

Suppose you have a variable containing the music and the reference to your footnote code. Something like this: 

var = {a b c d \myfootnote e f g a}

If you 'use' the variable multiple time in your score you probably don't want to display the footnote multiple times. So if you write

{ \var \var \var }

you probably want just one footnote.

So I tried to write

var = {a b c d \tag #'footnotetag {} e f g a}

and then...

{\pushToTag #'footnotetag \myfootnote \var \var \var}

but this does not compile.

Does exists a simple workaround to make it working? (I made different experiments without success). If there is no simple solution, no problem, don't waste your time. Consider this just a curiosity. Thanks a lot, gianmaria
