The \layout, \book, or whatever, keeps untouched, but sometimes there are only one, sometimes five stanza, therefore I am only interested to type \include "myfinnishpreamble.ily" \header { title = "my song" ... } global=... sopranoMusic=... sopranoWords=... altoMusic=... altoWords=... tenorMusic=... tenorWords=... bassMusic=... Words=... \include "mySATBchoral_layout.ily" \include "mySATBchoral_midi.ily" Then everything would be laid out according to "mySATBchoral.ily". But, if I have several stanza, and I want to have them between the voices, I have to use something like altoWordsA= altoWordsB= altoWordsC= altoWordsD= Which mixes my template, since if they are not used, I have to set them explicitly to altoWordsA={} altoWordsB={} altoWordsC={} altoWordsD={} Ok, I found the solution .. I may always redefine the variables. If I place the zero definitions to the preamble file, then I always may redefine them. I will have definitions for very many stanza and words and, but since only non-zero staffs are typeset (à la remove-empty-staff) the zero-definitions do not matter. Yes, it is always inspiring to describe a problem, since the solution may be found during explaining the problem. -- Terveisin Heikki Junes _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
