RE: Argument transfer?

[Fairchild]

Eric, et. al. -

Thanks for the response, even though it hasn't led anywhere.

Let's try the question a couple of other ways.

Can Scheme code be used within a \score block?

Can a variable, defined in the ly file, be reassigned a new value within the
\score block?

If the answers are no, do I have a legitimate feature request?

Sorry, this is not possible. If you really need it, you can play around with

\include:

Mag = #3
BigOn = \include "BigOn.ly"

.. and let BigOn.ly contain only the "\override.. " line.
