You cannot, but attributes that aren=92t attached to anything may be =
retrieved via (gnetlist:get-toplevel-attribute attribute).

The back end at https://github.com/noqsi/gnet-spice-noqsi uses toplevel =
attributes =93spice-prolog=94 and =93spice-epilog=94 for the analogous =
purpose in SPICE. It uses this function:


;; Include "cards" from appropriate toplevel attributes.

(define (process-toplevel attr)
    (let ((t (gnetlist:get-toplevel-attribute attr)))
    	(or
	    (equal? t "not found")
	    (collect-card (expand-string #f t)))))

Attributes can be multiline, although initial creation may be subtle. =
Text containing an =3D sign is an attribute as far as gnetlist is =
concerned.

> c) have it visible (or invisible) in the schematic depending on taste

For fancy visibility of a multiline attribute:

1. Make a single line attribute, adjust its visibility flags.
2. Edit as text.

This could be a little smoother, but it works.
