Hello everybody, Is it possible (and is it a good idea) to include a fileXXXX.ly by specifying its path, then in the fileXXXX.ly include another fileZZZZ.ly with a different path, and so on?
a few days ago, I downloaded Nicolas Sceaux's amazing editions of French baroque operas, (by the way, here's the link: http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/index.php ) Nicolas has done a wonderful job, extremely well organized. Instead of using the \include command to put together the different sections, he's written a whole bunch of Scheme functions, which (if i understand well) browse the directories and pick every \score block they find, one by one. Since I'm not comfortable with Scheme, I tried to use a similar organization in my own score. But it is acting a bit surprisingely... Example: FileA is in the root directory, FileB in /subdir, and FileC in /subdir/subsubdir If you try: in FileA.ly \include "./subdir/FileB.ly" in FileB.ly \include "./subsubdir/FileC.ly in FileC.ly \score { a b c2 } ...it doesn't work! You have to do FileB.ly \include "./subdir/subsubdir/FileC.ly ...like if you still were in FileA; so the absolute path you specify in FileB has nothing to do with FileB's *actual* location! (Which is not necessarily wrong; it's just a bit confusing when you're used to HTML-style linking.) I can't imagine I am the first one to ask this question; however I couldn't find anything anywhere.
