Extending LilyPond: 2.3.1 Music function definitions

[ << Interfaces for programmers ]	[Top][Contents][Index][ ? ]			[ LilyPond Scheme interfaces >> ]

The general form for defining music functions is:

function =
#(define-music-function
     (parser location arg1 arg2 …)
     (type1? type2? …)
   body)

quite in analogy to Scheme function definitions. More often than not, body will be a LilyPond code block.
