2.3.2 Music function usage
A ‘music function’ has to return an expression matching the predicate
ly:music?. This makes music function calls suitable as arguments
of type ly:music? for another music function call.
When using a music function call in other contexts, the context may cause further semantic restrictions.
- At the top level in a music expression a post-event is not accepted.
-
When a music function (as opposed to an event function) returns an
expression of type post-event, LilyPond requires one of the named
direction indicators (
-,^, and_) in order to properly integrate the post-event produced by the music function call into the surrounding expression. -
As a chord constituent. The returned expression must be of a
rhythmic-eventtype, most likely aNoteEvent.
‘Polymorphic’ functions, like \tweak, can be applied to
post-events, chord constituent and top level music expressions.
