I have > found that very quickly my source files get out of control. 1) http://www.mutopiaproject.org/ Jay Anderson has posted some large-ensemble scores (Mozart Horn Concertos and other things) with a good organizational system. You could search for Anderson and find them. 2) http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=359 and you could browse http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/ searching for "score parts" 3) What I do is: Global items go in a variable like conductor_mvt_I = { \commonConductor \time 3/4 \tempo "Vivace" \repeat volta 1 { s2.*12 \bar "||" \mark\default s2.*8 } \alternative { s2.*8 } \alternative { s2.*1 } The "spacer rest model" using s.2*12 breaks multimeasure rests in parts only when there is an event like a rehearsal mark or a special barline in the 'conductor' part. file: strings_mvt1.ily Defines variables like conductor_mvt_I = { as above } violin_I_mvt_I = \relative c' { \key d\minor ... } Each variable holds all the notes for the instrument in this movement/section/song. If some marking belongs *only* on the part, it gets a \tag #part. If the tagged thing has a duration, arrange things so that filtering out the tag does not change the total duration of the violin part << \repeat unfold 6 c1:16 \tag#'part \repeat percent 6 s1 >> file: brass_mvt1.ily horns_mvt_I = \relative c' { \transposition f ... } Similarly for the brass instruments. I put the whole brass section in one file because then cut-and-paste between instruments is easier for me. If two horns will share a music stand they share a variable definition. Periods of divisi use what is called "Temporary polyphonic passages" in the manual. { c4 d e c <<{e f g }2 \\ {c4 d e g}>> } When there is a motive that comes back, I have tried defining a variable like motifA = \relative c' { c4 d e c } alongside the instrument parts that might use it, and then insert \transpose c g \motif_A into the part. If you are not re-writing the motif, simply cut-and-paste will do. (The \quoteDuring mechanism does not help you here; it was designed for a different goal, to go find what is happening *simultaneously* in another instrument.) file: score_mvt1.ly \include "header.ily" \include "strings_mvtI.ily" \score { \killCues \keepWithTag #'score << \new Devnull \conductor_mvt_I \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Flute" } { \partcombine \flute_I_mvtI \flute_II_mvtI } \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Horns in F" } { \horns_mvt_I } ... > - Multiple parts per staff (e.g. four-part choral music on two > staves): how to handle duplicate dynamics, phrasing, doubled rests and > notes, etc? LilyPond's attempted automatic part-combining needs help, so you go back to the *.ily files insert \partcombineApart and such where needed. (These commands are new with version 2.14, implemented by Reinhold, so look them up in the new manual under \partcombine.) Still, there might be doubled dynamics, for example. I use an override to hide them in the second part ( like scoreDynamicsOff down below in this message). (Lilypond's part-combiner is not smart enough to combine parts if one has divisi sections. Usually, though, the parts combined on a staff do not themselves sub-divide into two.) And separate files, analogous to those above, for movement II, etc. The file score_mvt1.ly would give just the first movement in a pdf. For the parts you might want all movements in one .pdf, so... file: horns.ly \include "header.ily" \include "strings_mvtI.ily" \include "brass_mvtI.ily" \include "strings_mvtII.ily" \include "brass_mvtII.ily" \addQuote "violin1" \keepWithTag#'quote \violinI_mvt_I \book { \header { instrument = "first violin"} \score { \keepWithTag#'part \new Staff << \horns_mvt_I } \score { \keepWithTag#'part \new Staff << \horns_mvt_II } } If you like you can add the other brass instruments in similar \book s and maybe call the file brass.ly. file: header.ily The overall header, anything that I want to define, and anything I can figure out a way to share between files (like what is in commonConductor) \header { title = "" ... } commonConductor = { #(set-accidental-style 'modern 'Score) ... } ub = -\tag #'part \upbow db = -\tag #'part \downbow mark_A_I = 34 % rehearsal mark A in movement one is measure 34, % so I can \barNumberCheck #mark_A_I scoreDynamicsOff = \tag #'score { \override DynamicText #'stencil = #point-stencil \override Hairpin #'stencil = #point-stencil All those files in one directory named for the piece of music. P.S., for quick-compiling parts while writing, you might create a stripped-down version of brass.ly to set just what you are currently working on: file: h1m1.ly \include "header.ily" \include \include "strings_mvtI.ily" \include "brass_mvtI.ily" \addQuote "violin1" \keepWithTag#'quote \violinI_mvt_I \keepWithTag#'part \horns_mvt1_I _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
