Re: Scope of defined names

Hi Raphael,

Lilypond variables exist in the same namespace, with the exception that output-def blocks like paper and layout are Scheme modules. Lilypond include just literally inserts the text if the included file.

What is the scope of a defined name? If I write, for instance:

tune = { a b c d }

Is the scope  of the name "tune" the whole compilation unit, the
smallest enclosing book, book part, score, bracketed _expression_ ...? Can
it be redefined in an inner or in a parallel scope?

I have not spotted this issue being addressed in NR.
