i get it - thanks - is there anyway that a character can be inserted in the spaces of a list so it can be formated as a symbol? it would make it easier generating strings as symbols are easier to deal with than lists - in [sprintf] or {pack] for example ((:textnote "sul G")) would become ((:textnote_"sul G")) or ((:textnote,"sul G")) and then could be handled as a %s ? just a thought cheers rob Rick Taube <taube@uiuc.edu> wrote:

i think :marks takes a LIST of marks. try

(note 1 :off 3 :dur 1 :note 67 :marks '((:textnote "sul G")) )

i think you you meant ((:textnote "sul G")) without the "'"

yes that works alright - thanks

so :text has to be associated with another mark - it cant just exist in its own right? if that is the case i suppose once :ignore is implemented that will be a workaround - a bit messy though.

hi,

can't seem to get :textnote to work...

what am i doing wrong here?

init :output (:lilypond :view t); part 1 :name "Piano" :instr :piano; (note 1 :off 3 :dur 1 :note 67 :marks (:textnote "sul G"));

;; Formatting music... ;;; *****ERROR***** ;; Error in function FOMUS::CHECK-TYPE*: ;; Found :TEXTNOTE, expected valid/unique mark in MARKS slot of note at offset 3.0

Hi,

imagine you would also want to write an accent:

init :output (:lilypond :view t); part 1 :name "Piano" :instr :piano; (note 1 :off 3 :dur 1 :note 67 :marks (:accent (:textnote "sul G")));

Makes sense?

Cheers,

Kilian
