I don't have that exact problem myself, but in a similar vein I
usually separate the following information:
- global information that is only printed above the topmost instrument
(e.g. \tempo, some \markup)
- global information, common for all voices/staves, that is printed
above or inside each staff (e.g. common dynamic markings, most
fermatas)
- the music in each voice
- lyrics (often for each voice)
This way, I duplicate a minimum of information.
To give a relatively short example (warning: may contain nuts. not
tested on animals. complete file available upon request.):
\version "2.0.1"
global = \notes {
\time 4/4
\key bes \major
s1-\markup{\dynamic p} s1 s4. s8\< s4 s4\! |
% etc
\bar "|."
}
themarkup = \notes {
s1-\markup{\bold{\large{Andante molto tranquillo }\small{\note #2 #0 #1 = 63}}} s1
s1
s1 s1-\markup{\bold{poco animato}} s1
% etc
}
brk = \notes { \mark "/" }
ti = \notes \relative c' {
\property Staff.instrument = "Tenor I."
\clef "treble_8"
%\clef "tenor"
\property Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = ##f
\property Staff.verticalExtent = #'(-3 . 9)
\dynamicUp
\scriptUp
\repeat volta 2
{
d4. c8 bes4 c | d-( f-) f2 | d4. c8-\< bes4 c-\! |\brk
d4-(-\> f-) f2-\! | fis4. e8 d4 e | fis d g fis |\brk
% etc
}
}
tlyri = \lyrics {
A -- ve ma -- ris stel -- la, De -- i ma -- ter
al -- ma, At -- que sem -- per vir -- go, Fe -- lix
% etc
}
tlyrii = \lyrics {
% etc
}
% + other voices
% assume tii, bi and bii are also defined, as well as their lyrics
\score {
\context ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff << {\dynamicUp
\scriptUp
<< \global \themarkup >> }
\addlyrics \ti
\new Lyrics << \tlyri \tlyrii >> >>
\new Staff << \dynamicUp
\scriptUp
\notes { \key bes \major }
% \addlyrics
\tii
% \new Lyrics << \tlyri \tlyrii >>
>>
\new Staff << {\dynamicUp
\scriptUp
\global }
\addlyrics \bi \new Lyrics << \blyri \blyrii>> >>
\new Staff << {\dynamicDown
\scriptDown
\global}
\addlyrics \bii
\new Lyrics << \biilyri \biilyrii>> >>
>>
}
% Seperate scores for each voice would each have to include
% \themarkup, \global and the voice in their \score section.
