Re: Use markup in \replace when lilypond is expecting a string?

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello PJ,

\replace does simply add to the  prop 'replacement-alist. This is then used in 
text-interface.cc to replace substrings of string with other strings. This 
means you can only use \replace to substitute strings. Of course it would 
theoretically be possible to define a custom replace command that allows for 
this.

Cheers,
Valentin
