I wrote three parts of a song separately because they were becoming a little
overwhelming. I want to \include the three files into one but I'm doing
something wrong. It only includes the last file and uncommenting it only
includes the 2nd file and so on. Is it possible to include all three in
this manner?
\include "File 1"
\include "File 2"
\include "File 3"
\score {
\new ChoirStaff<<........etc.
-------------------------------------------------
The three files used to stand alone but I commented out the \score
{.........
I would prefer not to have a file for each part and include them (as
suggested by the docs) because I am very comfortable with my current
organization.
Thanks for your advice.
This very much depends on the real content of your files.
If the files "used to stand alone" and you have some sort of
"organization" I suspect you will have variables with the same name in
your included files.
In such a case later definitions just overwrite earlier ones.
To \include a file is the same (for the lilypond parser) as writing the
contents of the included file directly in the main file.
To make it clear have a look at this example:
if you define the variable "music" twice like this:
music = \relative c' {
c4 d e f g1
}
music = \relative c {
c2 a d1
}
The first definition is discarded.
If you \include two files which define a variable "music" it will look
like the first file isn't included.
The same goes for variables in \header or \paper blocks.
