Hi Graham,
If I'm not mistaken, putting them in \book results in foo.pdf (main score) foo-0.pdf (1st violin) foo-1.pdf (2nd violin) foo-2.pdf (viola) foo-3.pdf (cello)
Yes... although there is (or should be) a request in the system for the ability to change the output name of a \book.
Is that really preferable to separate files, where you can give the .ly files (and therefore the .pdfs) sensible names?
For a template, that's supposed to get a newbie up and running as quickly as possible?
Yes, IMO.
That said, perhaps the template should just show a string quartet score; people wanting to create separate parts can read the appropriate section of the LM.
Well, there's no reason (IMO) why the template can't already have that in it — if they want to tweak the way the parts look or print, then they can go LM-ing.
No. If people want "real music" as templates, there's 1000 scores in Mutopia.
The last time I checked Mutopia, I was shocked by the (low) quality of the coding. =( I personally would never suggest that anyone use any Mutopia file I've seen as an example/template.
I don't want tutorial-newbies trying to figure out what parts of a real piece to delete in order to get a basic template.
Um... the notes only, just like now? Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
