That means that note cannot be a music expression (which already would have a duration) but only a pitch. On another note, you want to add a rhythm here. So you want a copy each time, and $note will achieve that. Which in this case means that you have the identical (not just the same) expression 7 times in a row, and if you transpose the expression, this identical expression in it will get transposed 7 times as well. What's the difference? # introduces a Scheme expression directly as a music expression bypassing any change or interpretation. Your last attempt is almost good, you just need to use $note instead of #note. Can convert MusicXML, ABC, and MIDI files into LilyPond files. Can be used via web apps like LilyBin + Clairnote (also HackLily and LilyBin ). Runs on all major desktop operating systems (Windows, macOS, and GNU/Linux). #note #note #note #note #note #note #note LilyPond: Is music notation software that can create sheet music in Clairnote SN music notation. Using LilyPond syntax (this worked, but transposed the entire group of notes up one octave per call to note, and still leaves the problem of duration): pattern_one = #(define-music-function Trying to return list: pattern_one = #(define-music-function

Trying to return multiple values (tried without commas first) pattern_one = #(define-music-function Is there any way to get a function like this to work?Īlternatively, is there a way to multiply notes in the same way as measure-long rests are multiplied ( R1*n)? My attempts: Repeating the note variable in the function body as shown below does nothing (this is expected, as Scheme seems to implicitly return only the last value in the function) And, I can only get it to return one note at a time.

I'm completely lost on how to change the note duration (I figured out the argument for a pitch, but have yet to figure out how to add the duration in the function body, considering that * seems to register as invalid syntax, and plain numbers are interpreted as part of the variable name). As this would normally involve a large amount of repeated typing, so I would like to define a LilyPond function to do this for me. I'm working on a song with a repetitive rhythm that changes pitch.
