Achtung! Just a small aside that someone did a really good job with this:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/engraver-tutorial
The only thing that is missing (assuming that I haven't overlooked it, which
is often an incorrect assumption) is a good definition of what a translation
timestep is (a definition that, unfortunately, I cannot furnish), although
perhaps that's somewhere else in the dox.
Anyway, I thought I'd bring it to your attention to save you a bit of work.
I've just implemented a host of scheme engraver stuff (meaning engravers
100% implemented in Scheme) if you want to check that out. Let me know.
On that subject, any takers to try out my new patch for adding event-classes
via scheme? There's a 15 second two-part-invention in it for the first
person who applies it and tries it!
Thank you very much. I hadn't found it, but last I looked I couldn't
find it in the 2.13 docs (found it now :-)
The scheme engraver stuff sounds interesting, but I'm having enough
fun understanding the C++ stuff (which I sort-of get) that I think
I'll leave the scheme stuff for the moment. If you can give me a few
file-names to look at, however, I will.
Cheers,
Wol
