In my Lilypond input file, I have a group of notes that are repeated
at many places in the music. Here is a hypothetical example.
c d e f g a b c
c c c d d d e e
a b a b c c d d
c d e f g a b c
f e fe f e g g g
c d e f g a b c
So, you can see that 'c d e f g a b c' is repeated again and
again. Is
there a way to make a macro or a variable and store 'c d e f g a
b c'
in it and reuse it whenever required?
Riff1 = {c d e f g a b c}
...
\Riff1
Thanks. I have many arpeggios in my piece as well. So, I'm planning to
to use it in ths manner:
dMinor = {d f a f d f a f} and use \dMinor whereever required. But, I
am also wondering that since there are many standard chords and
arpeggios such a C-major, D-minor, E-minor, etc. is there a way to
tell Lilypond that I need the arpeggio D-minor from C-major scale and
it would just print the arpeggio?
I understand what you're getting at, but there are a lot of variables
to something like this. If you use the same patterns frequently, then
you can create a custom file which defines the patterns you use, and
include it in any files you create. The problem is, what happens when
you want to repeat the top or bottom note, or not, change the timing
on any note, add an octave, etc.
