Done, with python. The new version of sly will split into parts content
formatted in any combination of fields and lines. More features are
planned, but it all works and I'll try to get it up on my website by
Monday.
It works like this. The first two bytes are your field separator.
!!
That is followed by a search specification for the lines, if you
want more than one. The first one is preceded by an "=" equals
sign:
!! =brs
Then target filenames:
!! =brs !! tpt.ly !! tb.ly
str!! vln.ly
perci!! piano.ly
percii!! piano2.ly
The header is ended by a repeated search spec:
!! =brs !! tpt.ly !! tb.ly
str !! vln.ly
pi !! piano.ly
pii !! piano2.ly
brs !!
and then you have your parts. You can do without any search specs
!! bass.ly !! voc.ly !! fl.ly !! glob.ly
bass notes !! voc notes !! fl notes !! globals
bass notes !! voc notes !! fl notes !! globals
bass notes !! voc notes !! fl notes !! globals
But you have to have the field separator. A line without a search spec
is considered to have the same search spec as the previous line:
!! =bass !! bass.ly
voc!! voc.ly
fl!! fl.ly
glb!! glob.ly
bass !! notes
more bass notes
more bass notes
fl!! notes
more fl notes
etc....
Because the format can easily handle an orchestral score, the format of
your notes is checked to the end, not just to the first mistake, for the
right number of parts per line. The header itself is not checked.
Let me recommend building the ly file in the usual way:
trumpet = {\notes \key etc.
etc.
\include "tpt.ly"
}
pianoI = etc
\score....
Because then if you want to flatfile it later using lyinclude.py you
will still be able to make sense of it. daveA
