Greetings, I wouldn’t recommend to “duplicate” any code. As Xavier said, you can easily use multiple for files to enter variables containing music for each instrument, then \include these files in a common file to generate the full score or the set of individual parts. Even if there are some differences needed, you can do pretty much anything with different tags and then \keepWithTags or \removeWithTags as needed. > The other option would be to create temporary staves when needed, but > I'm not sure which one is the best strategy. Generally speaking, Xavier’s trick is definitely what would be best suited to that sort of situations. If you need advice on particular cases, you’ll need to be more specific. Cheers, -- V.
