And \times doesn't work either. I can't use a spacer note. So it seems to be impossible to have long chords of general length. Of course, in the example above I can use \breve. But what if I want a chord that lasts for 3 whole notes? Or what about 2.5 whole notes? Is there a mechanism for getting this kind of length? Why does my second extender request get junked in the following: \score{ < \notes \relative c''{ a4()b()c()d c()d()b()a } \type Lyrics \lyrics { foo1 __ bar2. __ _4 } > } It seems that \cr and \decr don't work any more. \score{ \notes{ a \cr b \rc c } \paper{linewidth=-1.;} } Gives me qq.ly:3:9: warning: can't find (de)crescendo to end: a \cr b \rc c } Use of semicolons is still rather confusing. They are obligatory after some types of assignments and illegal after others. \property foo=bar illegal foo = 3 at top level illegal foo = 3 inside \paper obligatory foo = \notes{ ...} top level illegal foo = \translator{ } in \paper obligatory As far as I can tell, the sole accomplishment of this syntactic irregularity is to keep the user as confused as possible.

One piece of information you need when exporting objects to scheme is the smob tag for your class. You might store this value (a long) into a class static variable, or a file static variable. I'll use a class static variable in this example. I typically use code that works like this (untested code ahead): class Foo_class { static long *Foo_smob_tag; SCM obj; // representation as a scheme object, description comes later } // call this once on startup void init_Foo_class { static scm_smobfuns type_rec; type_rec.mark = foo_mark; type_rec.free = foo_free; type_rec.print = foo_display; type_rec.equalp = 0; Foo_class::Foo_smob_tag = new int(scm_new_smob(type_rec)); } When you want to export an object to scheme, you put a pointer to the object itself in the cdr of the cell, and the tag in the car of the cell. The code looks like this: // Is this a Foo? static int foo_p(SCM obj) { return(SCM_NIMP(obj) && SCM_CAR(obj) == Foo_class::Foo_smob_tag); } // given a Scheme representation, return, a C++ representation static Foo_class * foo_unbox(SCM obj) { return((Foo_class*)SCM_CDR(obj)); } // the SCM representation of the object is stored inside itself // this will become useful when destructor gets called static SCM foo_box(Foo_class *foo) { SCM_DEFER_INTS; SCM_NEWCELL(foo->obj); SCM_SETCAR(foo->obj, Foo_class::Foo_smob_tag); SCM_SETCDR(foo->obj, (SCM)foo); SCM_ALLOW_INTS; return foo->obj; } > C++ determines life time, so what is the strategy? What happens now when the destructor gets called? Lets set the cdr to NULL, and then check for that in all of the primitive functions that use your smob. We'll call this notion 'live'; a scheme object is 'live' if the C++ representation still exists, it's dead if the C++ object is gone. You can still have references to dead objects in scheme code; it's just an error to use them. This idea is stolen from Emacs's handling of buffers ('buffer-live-p' and friends). Add another function, foo_live_p: static int foo_live_p(SCM obj) { return(foo_p(obj) && SCM_CDR(obj) != NULL); } In you destructor, you need to do: ~Foo_class() { SCM_CDR(this->obj, NULL); } When writing new primitives, now just check foo_live_p(). I hope the above helps, -russ -- "Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." --Will Rogers (1879-1935) * OUTLINE SETUP .* .EMACS ;;; from outline.el (defvar outline-font-lock-keywords '(;; Highlight headings according to the level. ;; must change this to allout node layout ;;("^\\(\\*+\\)[ \t]*\\(.+\\)?[ \t]*$" ("^\\([.]*[ ]*[*]\\)[ \t]*\\(.*\\)$" (1 font-lock-string-face) (2 (let ((len (- (match-end 1) (match-beginning 1)))) (or (cdr (assq len '((1 . font-lock-function-name-face) (2 . font-lock-keyword-face) (3 . font-lock-comment-face)))) font-lock-variable-name-face)) nil t)) ;; Highlight citations of the form [1] and [Mar94].
