how to do this using scheme
It seems to me that what you want can be achieved with a very small
amount of perl:
=======================================================
#!/usr/bin/perl
sub InsertNotes {
my ($num, $form, @notes) = @_;
my ($output, @temp);
while (@notes) {
(@temp[0..$num-1], @notes) = @notes;
$output .= sprintf $form, (@temp);
}
return $output;
}
my @list = qw"a b c d a b c d a f cis d aes b c d g b c d a bes c dis c c c d a e c d a b c d";
my $format = "%s''4\\pp r16 %s'4\\accent %s''1 %s'''4 r8 %s''4\\mf \\accent %s8
\\staccato\n";
print InsertNotes(6, $format, @list);
=============================================================
You can probably do it with scheme, but why would you want to.
Both @list and $form (and the number of %s to replace) can all
be read from files insterad of hard coded. This is also
trivial.
