Subject: Edit scheme files with Frescobaldi

 

Hi all,

Some of my projects #(load "external_scheme_files"). For example, if song.ly contains

\version "2.20.0"

\include "articulate.ly"

#(load "swing.scm")

\header {

...

then if I open song.ly in Frescobaldi and use Engrave (preview), it doesn't find swing.scm (doesn't know to copy it to the tempdir?) And if I Open swing.scm in Frescobaldi, it tries to compile that as a .ly format.

Is there a way to open .scm files in Frescobaldi alongside the .ly files, be able to edit them all and engrave/publish on demand (maybe using a session)? I haven't found how in the docs.

The way I do it is to embed the scheme code in an ly file.  Instead of calling it “swing.scm”, call it “swing.ly”, and preface functions with # as needed.  And then you can just \include “swing.ly”.

HTH,

Carl
