I, too, have my own collection of Lilypond work, and after a while it was getting to be a pain to keep track of what needed updating where, and finally gave up and created a Github repository for it all, and now, it is the definitive copy of stuff. Lilypond is, after all, source code, and what better to manage source code than a Source Code Control System like Git. My life got better instantly.
I've included my standard template that I use for work in a motown band where all we need is basic transposing of the main chart. I usually just type in whatever arrangement I have to work with and use the \transpose function to generate sheets. Simple, but very effective. -Jeff. :) On Wed, Aug 7, 2024 at 2:57 PM Pierre-Luc Gauthier <p.luc.gauth...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello there, > > I thought I'd share my LilyPond "system" that I use to generate scores for > orchestras. > > I just finished a somewhat complicated show : 15 original songs all > arranged for SATB chorus of 50+ persons, full symphonic orchestra of 45ish > musicians, house band, lighting technician and ptz cameras (yes lighting > and camera "scores").
