Dear Colleagues, you have convinced me! I need to dive into the documentation and the tutorial of Lilypond. Obvioulsy no easy shortcuts here to quickly get my individual parts. I do appreciate your cordial and frank replies!! If in Hanoi, do call, we will make or listen to music together, plenty options here. Henri

My bad. The point is: music expressions which are defined as an identifier, as I told you: instrumentName = {music...} ...can't be compiled "as is". The easiest solution would be to edit each file, and delete what comes before the opening curly brace (the instrumentName, and the equal sign): { music...} Another solution, somehow more elaborate, is to rewrite the main "QuartetOpus18_No4_1.ly" file, to make *four* \score blocs instead of one single. It might become something like: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \include "violinoone.ly" \include "violinotwo.ly" \include "viola.ly" \include "cello.ly" \header { title = "Quartet No. 4 in C Minor - Opus 18 No. 4" subtitle = "Allegro ma non tanto" composer = "Ludwig van Beethoven" } \book { \score{ \new Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName = "Violino 1" \violinoone \pageBreak } } \score{ \new Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName = "Violino 2" \violinotwo \pageBreak } } \score{ \new Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName = "Viola" \viola \pageBreak } } \score{ \new Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName = "Violoncello" \cello } } } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I hope this will help you (it should work for the other movements as well); and as Mats already told you, I strongly advise you to read our tutorial as soon as you can, to fully understand how LilyPond works; then you'll be able not only to print your parts the way you like, but also to contribute yourself to Mutopia, or improve the existing scores. I can assure you the Lilypond community will be very pleased to welcome you!
