I've had two related problems that have bugged me for a while
I frequently want to create scores with multiple tunes as a dance
set
and
on the more recent occasion I wanted to have a mix of text and
scores so that I could present the score of a song with chords
and lyrics and talk about the song's origins and historical context.
The long-standing problem of multiple tunes was solved by
multiple note and chord blocks each with a unique name,
markup blocks and score blocks:
as in:
\version "2.18.2"
\header {
title = "A Set Name"
subtitle = " " % for space before first tune title
tagline = "engraved 19 Feb 2017 -- DEG"
}
#(set-global-staff-size 20.0762645669)
\paper {
paper-width = 21.0\cm
paper-height = 29.7\cm
top-margin = 1.0\cm
bottom-margin = 1.5\cm
left-margin = 1.0\cm
right-margin = 1.0\cm
indent = 0.0\mm
}
PartOne = \relative c' {
\clef "treble" \key g \major \time 2/4
c4
}
PartOneChords = \chordmode {
}
PartTwo = \relative c' {
\clef "treble" \key g \major \time 2/4
c4
}
PartTwoChords = \chordmode {
}
PartThree = \relative c' {
\clef "treble" \key g \major \time 2/4
c4
}
PartThreeChords = \chordmode {
}
\markup{
\fill-line {
\line { " " }
\center-column { \huge \bold "Tune One Title"} % Title
\line { \box {"Play AABB" }} % instructions
}
}
% The score definition
\score {
<<
\context ChordNames = "Chords" \PartOneChords
\new Staff <<
\context Staff <<
\context Voice = "Part" { \PartOne }
>>
>>
>>
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
\markup{
\fill-line {
\line { " " }
\center-column { \huge \bold "Tune Two Title"} % Title
\line { \box { "Play ABAB" }} % instructions
}
}
% The score definition
\score {
<<
\context ChordNames = "Chords" \PartTwoChords
\new Staff <<
\context Staff <<
\context Voice = "Tune" { \PartTwo }
>>
>>
>>
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
\markup{
\fill-line {
\line { " " }
\center-column { \huge \bold "Tune Three Title"} % Title
\line { \box { "Play AAABB" }} % instructions
}
}
% The score definition
\score {
<<
\context ChordNames = "Chords" \PartThreeChords
\new Staff <<
\context Staff <<
\context Voice = "PartThree" { \PartThree }
>>
>>
>>
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
The inclusion of scores in LaTeX was simple:
Header stuff:
\documentclass[titlepage,12pt,a4paper]{article}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-0.25in}
\setlength{\textwidth}{6.25in}
\setlength{\topmargin}{-0.75 in}
\setlength{\textheight}{9.25in}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% following block allows for page number to be visible
% and easily modified
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields
\fancyfoot[RE,LO]{\Large\thepage} % except the center
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\textheight}{740pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{2pt}}
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{} % clear the title
% \renewcommand{\absnamepos}{empty} % originally center
\pagestyle{plain}
Some of this was to have an un-numbered title page, but the rest
moved the page number down to give more room for the score
and then to include the score:
\includepdf[pages=-, scale=0.90, pagecommand={}]{broken-down-squatter.pdf}
Your mileage may vary, but I found that using the scaling meant that
the page number did not clash with the bottom of the score.
Hope this is useful to someone out there.
Cheers,
-Don
