I am not sure that i understood you, sorry .) Just take a look, maybe this helps (i've tried this right now, and, surprisingly enough, this works.-): %--------------- 8<------------------------ makeFor = #'choir #(define myStaff (if (eq? makeFor 'piano) "PianoStaff" "ChoirStaff")) \score { \new \myStaff << \new Staff { c'' } \new Staff { c' } >> } %----------------8<------------------------ This would require more "if" checks in your case, i guess. I it would work for you at all. Like this, you may, for example, #(define lowerStaff (if (....) "Devnull" "TabStaff") and then use it. Maybe this helps. ps. Anyway, Lilypond is great, thanks to everyone who makes it even better. > ======================= > % Outcomment whichever one is inappropriate > TypesetForInstrument = "Piccolo" > TypesetForInstrument = "Guitar" > ======================= > > Then, in the score-block, I'd like to typeset the TABStaff based on > the value of the \TypesetForInstrument variable.
