Hi,
I need some further insights in what a bookpart is.
I've read the doc but it is very short on the issue:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/multiple-scores-in-a-book
My understanding from try and error is this (and I would be happy if you
could correct me or confirm the statements):
\paper blocks inside a \bookpart only affect this bookpart, while \paper
blocks outside affect everything. So it seems to be a scoping for paper
blocks.
Q: Is it correct that the bookpart is a scope for paper blocks?
If I put a \layout block in a \bookpart, lilypond complains and says:
Für Papier-Block wird \paper benötigt
(\paper needed for paper block) – whatever that means ...
Q: Is it correct that \layout blocks don't belong inside a \bookpart?
I can define variables at top-level and use them in any boobpart. But
defining a variable inside a bookpart fails ("Error: syntax error,
unexpected SYMBOL").
Q: Is it correct that I can't define a variable inside a bookpart?
Q: That means if I have many scores with many voices in my document,
I need unique names for all of them and can not reuse \soprano for
the next piece with different content?
As my included files contain definitions, I cannot include them inside a
bookpart as far as I understand. So I need to put them at top level, right?
Q: Included files just behave as if the content was inserted at the same
position?
Q: Includes must be at top level?
When does a \paper block apply? The order of score and \paper block
doesn't seem to decide upon it. From the example below I am puzzled why
the top-level paper block applies to the second score but not to the
first. It is after all scores but on top-level. Shouldn't it affect
either both or none?
*What I want to achieve* is to have ~10 independent pieces and
concatenate all of them into one book as well as printing everyone on
its own. The separate pieces should have taglines etc. on the first/last
page as usual. But the book should not repeat them for every piece. Each
piece should start a new page in the book. I dreamed of just including
all the scores into one document. But the output is terrible (errors as
the ones above etc.).
Q: Should I use bookparts at all or just \pageBreaks?
Thanks for reading until here! :)
Cheers,
Joram
\bookpart {
\paper {
left-margin = 8\cm
}
\markup "ASD"
\score { { a } }
}
\bookpart {
{ b }
\header {
title= "Title"
}
}
\paper {
top-margin = 5\cm
}
