Hi Chris,
The tag method is a fantastic tool in many cases, so it's great to be aware of
it. Just in this particular case it's maybe not the easiest way to go.
Yeah, that's how I mostly use variables as well - placing just the music in
variables and then, in the score block, build up a
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff \new Voice \someMusic
\new Staff <<
\new Voice { \voiceOne \moreMusic }
\new Voice { \voiceTwo \yetMoreMusic }
>>
>>
I find this a very clear structure ... and it allows me to have a "complete"
template where you just comment out all \Staffs you don't need in a particular
case.
Cheers, Rob
