Re: markup + set

[yota moteuchi]

I had a look on preprocessors... but it's complicated to publish a source containing such a trick

on the other hand, the learning curve of the scheme functions is tough (a nice way to say I don't understand a word ^^)

That's why I'm looking for tips :)
I could work from any example of a function doing "almost" the same thing. But looking at the doc, I have one chapter for music functions and another one for markup functions... and none for both-at-the-same-time

The easiest solution is probably to use an external preprocessor, like M4
(if you search the mailing list archives you can also find hints on other
similar preprocessors to do purely textual replacements in the file. There,
you can also find comments on why the main authors of LilyPond don't
want to include such functionality within LilyPond).

Another solution is outlined in section "Building complicated functions"
in the manual.
