Hi,
How do I set the key signature to appear on multiple staves without
manually setting \key for every staff? This question was asked around
ten years ago (see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-09/msg00333.html)
and still doesn't seem to have been resolved.
Thank you for your time.
Sorry it took so long to reply. I've been trying to set up GNU Mailman
through VirtualBox these past hours, but ended up ragequitting.
Anyway, I don't think I elaborated properly. I was already aware of the
\global hack, but one is essentially replacing a command with a variable
containing the same command. You still need to insert \global on every
staff so it's the exact same thing to me.
I was hoping one could program LilyPond so that one could simply insert
the \key command on one staff and it would automatically print the key
signature on all staves at that point without needing to write pointless
variables, like the \time command already does. If there really is no
way, there really should be, I think.
Thanks for taking the time to respond anyway.
