Re: Scheme question on strict substitution

[stk]

Hello,

Does it work just to define this macro at the top level

        fraction = \tweak #'text #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text

and then later in the music to write

        \fraction
        \times 2/3 {
            c'8 c'8 c'8
        }

Does LilyPond swallow that?

Hi,

I frequently write

        \tweak #'text #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text

before tuplets, like this:

        \tweak #'text #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text
        \times 2/3 {
            c'8 c'8 c'8
        }

What's the best way to abbreviate to something like this?

        \fraction
        \times 2/3 {
            c'8 c'8 c'8
        }

I've tried this music function ...

   fraction = #(define-music-function (parser location) ()
      #{
         \tweak #'text #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text
      #})

... but get this parse error:

Parsing...
<string>:3:9: error: syntax error, unexpected '}'

         }361.ly:5:0: error: errors found, ignoring music expression

Any suggestions for a good abbreviation?
