Re: function for a certain number of barrests

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear Joram,
thanks for Your explanation!
It is for a global variable.
Instead of writing
global = {  \time 4/4 s1*4 \time 3/2 s2.*3 }
I can do
 global = { \fourquarterbarskip #4 \threequarterbarskip #3 }
If You have a lot of bar changes, I think, it means fewer key-strokes.
Off course I should find  shorter commands, but this is not the problem.
Again: thanks to You and David!
