Hi,
In the piano scores for piano quartets, and similarly, I haven't
managed to find a way to apply \magnifyStaff to all the staves of
the remaining instruments, using a single \with statement on the
StaffGroup level. I can achieve what I want, using a \with{...}
statement for each separate Staff, but the .ly file would look
nicer and it would save some typing (well, some copy/pasting) to
be able to apply the settings to the full StaffGroup at once.
Trying the most obvious thing, results in an ugly error message
===============
/home/matben/lilypond-2.25.13/share/lilypond/2.25.13/ly/init.ly:66:2:
error: Guile signaled an error for the _expression_ beginning here
#
(let ((book-handler (if (defined? 'default-toplevel-book-handler)
In procedure ly:context-property: Wrong type argument in position
1 (expecting Context): #f
===============
Here's an example file, showing my failed attempt that gave the above error message, as well as the more verbose code that gives the desired output:
\version "2.25.12"
v = \fixed c' {
c4 d e f
}
LH = \fixed c' {
<c e g>1
}
RH = \fixed c {
\clef bass
c1
}
% Gives error message:
\score{
<<
\new StaffGroup \with{ \magnifyStaff #5/7 }
<<
\new Staff \v
\new Staff \v
\new Staff \v
>>
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff \LH
\new Staff \RH
>>
>>
}
% Desired layout:
\score{
<<
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff \with{ \magnifyStaff #5/7 } \v
\new Staff \with{ \magnifyStaff #5/7 } \v
\new Staff \with{ \magnifyStaff #5/7 } \v
>>
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff \LH
\new Staff \RH
>>
>>
}
Any suggestions? In the full score, I will also need to include
the workaround mentioned at the bottom of
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/setting-the-staff-size,
which makes the verbose version of the .ly code even more verbose
and repetitive.
