I think I'm getting confused :-) no change there :-)

int i = 1;
enum something = {
  a = 1;
  b = 2;
  c = 3;
}

voiceTromboneI = \relative c { c d e f g a b c }

Forgive my rusted solid C syntax - I can't remember it properly :-)

The two languages may be different, but my mental view of the Computer 
Science behind them tells me to treat them the same. I declare them in 
an include file, and use them where I need them.

(Whether the language treats them as such, the theory says they are 
global constants...)
