10.12.3 Listening to music events

External interfaces to the engraver are implemented by protected macros including one or more of the following:

• DECLARE_TRANSLATOR_LISTENER (event_name)
• IMPLEMENT_TRANSLATOR_LISTENER (Engraver_name, event_name)

where event_name is the type of event required to provide the input the engraver needs and Engraver_name is the name of the engraver.

Following declaration of a listener, the method is implemented as follows:

IMPLEMENT_TRANSLATOR_LISTENER (Engraver_name, event_name)
void
Engraver_name::listen_event_name (Stream event *event)
{
  ...body of listener method...
}
