I have this in the preamble date = #(strftime "%d-%m-%Y" (localtime (current-time))) What I want to do is somehow add/concatenate this to a text string for the name of person doing the arranging, which appears in the header block, i.e. arranger = "Arr. Maestro Smithington-Smythe" How do I do this so I finally see Arr. Maestro Smithington-Smythe, 17/May/2013Something like this: date = #(strftime "%d-%m-%Y" (localtime (current-time))) Arranger = "Arr. Maestro Smithington-Smythe" \header { composer = "Composer" title = "Title" arranger = \markup { \Arranger \date } }
While working on something I use this (included from a global file): % Define a variable to hold the formatted date: date = #(strftime "%d-%m-%Y" (localtime (current-time))) % Miscellaneous:thisisme = \markup{ \concat { "Engraved by *me*" \bold \date " with" \with-url #"http://lilypond.org/" "LilyPond " \simple #(lilypond- version) " (http://lilypond.org/)." } }
Below this include in the project-file, I have: % Fix the date when I finished this: %date = "27-04-2013"And when I finish the project I fill in the real date, uncomment it, ready.
Regards, *me*.
