RE: try except in lilypond

[Mike Solomon]

One thing I've used in the past for this sort of thing are Scheme functions, specifically file-exists? .

Another solution is to use some sort of top-level compilation script in bash or python, which is how i manage style sheets for large scores (I generate temporary ly files on the fly).

Happy hacking!

Subject: try except in lilypond

Hi,

is there something like try ... except in lilypond. What I want to
achieve is some failure tolerance in ly files. I want to load some fonts
or include files and if they don't exist, it should just be skipped
without stopping the compilation (perhaps a warning could be printed).

Is that possible? I think I remember that some 'if then else' syntax is
not available. This thing probably even less.

Best,
Joram
