Hi
I’m producing scores on multiple page sizes. The basic technique is to
create a new book for each size. Like this:
music = {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "right"
<< \clef treble \new Voice\soprano >>
\new Staff = "left"
<< \clef bass \new Voice \tenor \new Voice \bass >>
>>
}
"A4book" = \book {
\include "Output for A4.ily"
\bookOutputName "JS Bach - Book2-05 BWV 874 1-Praeludium D (A4)"
\score {
\keepWithTag #'pc \music
\layout { }
}
}
\”A4book”
The last line can be commented out so I don’t have to wait to generate all
possible page sizes during development. I just invoke the books I want to
work on.
But now I have a score which, at a particular page size, is on 3 pages. The
first page is repeated, and the last 2 pages are too. I want a blank page
at the start.
I’m trying to use bookParts. The following works:
\version "2.24.0"
\language "english"
hdr = \header {
title = "Praeludium 5"
subtitle = "BWV 874/1"
}
%testBook =
\book {
\bookOutputName "Booktest"
\bookpart { \markup \null }
\bookpart {
\hdr
\score {
\relative { c'4 c c c }
\layout { }
}
}
}
%\testBook
If I remove the comment markers, I think it should still work, but I get
the following instead:
Parsing...ERROR: In procedure ly:book-process:
Wrong type (expecting real number): #<undefined>
Exited with return code 1.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
