wants me to write every full staff and then combine them in a score.
I would rather write a few measures for every staff and then the next few
measures, etc. so that the different voices are close together in the
source file.
Is it possible to start a context with notes and later write other notes
to that context? I didn't get it right so far. E.g.
\context Voice="soprano" { c d e f | g a d b}
\context Voice="alto" { a b c d | a b c d }
and then later
\context Voice="soprano" { d e f g } % etc.
TIA for any help.
you could do
sopranoNotes = { c d e f}
....
sopranoNotes = { \sopranoNotes g a b c }
..
\context Voice = "soprano" \sopranoNotes
I can also devise code to automate this a little more if you're willing
to cover the development costs. Then you could do something like
#(start-slices "soprano" "alto")
{ c d e f } % sopr
{ a b c d } % alto
{ d e f g } % sopr
{ g ges f e } % alto
#(end-slices)
