Unfortunately you'll need some scheme knowledge, but if you can
get the general idea of the below function then you should be
fine:
#(define (format-note engraver event)
(let* ((origin (ly:input-file-line-char-column
(ly:event-property event 'origin))))
(print-line engraver
"note"
;; get a MIDI pitch value.
(+ 60 (ly:pitch-semitones
(ly:event-property event 'pitch)))
(ly:duration->string
(ly:event-property event 'duration))
(format-moment (ly:duration-length
(ly:event-property event
'duration)))
;; point and click info
(ly:format "point-and-click ~a ~a"
(caddr origin)
(cadr origin)))))
The important bit is the (print-line ...) function. It has a
number of arguments:
- engraver
- "note"
- a MIDI pitch value
- a duration (like "4.")
- a duration (like "1.25")
- point-and-click info
To add \parenthesize, you need to create a similar function or
extend that original one to deal with those events. To see the
events, try:
\displayMusic { c'4 \parenthesize d' e }
oh, it looks like \parenthesize is an option to a note, rather
than a separate event:
...
(make-music
'NoteEvent
'parenthesize
#t
'duration
(ly:make-duration 2 0 1)
'pitch
(ly:make-pitch 0 1 0))
...
In that case, you need to add another argument to the
(print-line...) function to indicate whether the note is
parenthesized or not. That requires a bunch more scheme, but this
should be enough hints for you to start reading the lilypond
scheme tutorial and the Extending manual.
A simple binary field would be enough for your personal use, but
it would be nice to have a more general approach in case people
want to add more options for notes. Don't worry about this
general approach (required for accepted patches into mainstream
lilypond) right now; first just get the basics working for your
particular purpose.
