I'm working on a book containing twelve short single-movement quintets,
originally with the intention of assembling them into a single volume
with book-titling.ily. However, being unable to make book-titling.ily
deliver a ragged-last-bottom margin for each of the twelve quintets, I'm
now trying to migrate to using \book { \score { ... } \score ... }.
Here's the problem:
\version "2.19.35"
\book {
music = \relative { c' d e f }
\score {
\music
}
}
fails with:
book_test.ly:4:3: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
music = \relative { c' d e f }
book_test.ly:6:5: error: unknown escaped string: `\music'
\music
/book_test.ly:6:5: error: unrecognized string, not in text
script or \lyricmode
\music
whereas
\version "2.19.35"
music = \relative { c' d e f }
\book {
\score {
\music
}
}
works fine.
To avoid having to restructure a number of files, it would be very handy
to be able to use the former layout (defining music = { ... }, and a
number of other variables, within \book but outside \score). Is there a
way to achieve that?
(Alternatively, if there's a way to make book-titling.ily do a
ragged-last-bottom for each piece, that would save even more work).
hopefully,
-- Graham
