Hi Arno, > is there some solution available? namespaces, or whatever?
I don't think there are namespaces (although that might be an interesting feature request). I would think you have two obvious options: 1. Write a script (e.g., in perl or sed or something) that would add a unique identifier to each variable in all of your files. 2. Try this [untested brainexperiment]: \include "fileA.ly" myVariableA = \theNotes % from fileA.ly \include "fileB.ly" myVariableB = \theNotes % same name, but overrides because of the more recent \include \include "fileC.ly" myVariableC = \theNotes % same name, but overrides because of the more recent \include ... \score { { \myVariableA \myVariableB \myVariableC ... } } % build as sequential music Hope this helps!
