I have this project: I make arrangements of figured bass pieces. (Generalbass
Wolf). In total 100 pieces.
Uptill now I organised it this way:
- 1 file with all pieces in it (I did about 10, 90 to go).
The file starts with an include of a startup.ily, with some settings for the
whole book
then the first piece.
I include a file (arrangeit.ily) to change the music into several voices,
etcetera using arranger.ly<http://arranger.ly>.
I add some lines to change 1-2 voices a bit using also
arranger.ly<http://arranger.ly>
then I include a file (Generalbassmakescore.ily with the settings to create the
score.
Second piece (with the same variablenames!)
and repeat the includes like mentioned above.
etcetera.
It works, looks well. At the end I have 1 file with alle the pieces and 3-4
files to do small jobs, It is not fast.
But somehow I have the idea this could be easier/better. But how?
- One idea would be to put all pieces in separate files and include this in one
file with all jobs: arranging, extra changes, create voice/score. But then I
will have 101 files
Most easy would be to create a file with procedures I need, include the file
and call the procedures when needed. . But how? Lilypond does not have
procedures (as far I know?).
Using functions gives lots of errors.
I tried it with variables, but no luck either.
I try to put these lines in a variable/function/procedures (as an example):
What to do, to make lilypond use the lines between {} simply as a replacement
of the variable?
