Hi, Erm, I'm not really sure what you mean. I'm talking about building Lilypond music projects, not Lilypond itself..
The kind of think I mean is sort of Header.ly ----------------------- \header { title="my title" } Notes.ly ---------------------- NotesSoloCornet=\notes { a b c d } PartSoloCornet.ly -------------------- \include "Notes.ly" \include "Header.ly" \score { \NotesSoloCornet } Makefile -------------------- all: score parts parts: PartSoloCornet.ps PartSoloCornet.ps: Notes.ly Header.ly lilypond -P PartSoloCornet.ly Then just do "make all" etc.. Seems like a lot of effort for a small project, but with a large number of parts and a score, it gets more convenient. The real setup is a bit more complicated but this is kinda what I mean. I'm sure that it can be simplified using default rules and the like. As I say, does anybody else do this kind of thing?
