Hi Brent,

you could simply delay the execution of your code until the point where you need it like this:

bpI =
#(define-scheme-function (parser location) ()
        #{
                \bookpart {
                        \tocItem "toc1" "a"
                        { c' }
                }
        #})

bpII =
#(define-scheme-function (parser location) ()
        #{
                \bookpart {
                        \tocItem "toc2" "b"
                        { d' }
                }
        #})

\markuplist \table-of-contents

$(bpII)
$(bpI)

(Sorry for the mess, I'm writing from my phone.)

Cheers,
Valentin

Hi all,

I'm creating a book of music using a master file where I call on \bookpart variables from lots of different files, which are included in the master file using the \include function. I have a list of included files in a separate file, and the master just includes that one file.

I want to create a table of contents at the beginning of the book, so I need to add a \tocItem to each score. The only place I have found where that works is inside the \bookpart variable in each individual file, before the score. So in my master file, each score entry looks like this:

\bookpart { \myBookPart }

And the variables in the individual files look like this:

myBookPart = \bookpart {  \tocItem \markup "Name of song"
{c1 c1 c1 c1}
}

I'm currently putting all the separate scores into the master file, and I plan to shuffle them around later to get the ordering right.

I've noticed that when the table of contents is generated, the items are always listed in the order in which the files are \included, not the order in which the scores actually appear in the book. So even though the page numbers are correct, the TOC lists the songs in the order in which I include the files in the \include file. When I start shifting things around later in the master, I really don't want to have to re-order the \include list as well, that will be double the work.

I've attached some files that replicate my problem. One thing I noticed that the master wouldn't compile at all when the version number was set to 2.22.1, it only worked when I set it to 2.19.65, the version number in all the files I'm using. Does that mean I'm using incorrect syntax for the TOC?

Otherwise, is there anywhere else I can put the \tocItem command so that the items are automatically re-ordered when I switch them around in the master file?

Sorry for the voluminous email and thanks for any help,

Brent.
