Re: Define an alias to a parametrized command

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Vlad,

Also checkout this thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2023-02/msg00035.html

If you want a real alias (that is a second binding to the same function) you 
can do 

#(define acc acciaccatura)

This will create another binding to the same object, which means you do not 
need to care about what arguments that thing takes (but it will also mean that 
changing one will also change the other.

The other options like saying

acc = \acciaccatura \etc

do not alias the command, but create a wrapper function around the original 
function.

Cheers,
Valentin
