Short version: I'd like to be able to pull in (import) several external ly
files into a multi-movement piece.
Long version:
I'm transcribing for Mutopia and we have several pieces where people like
to download one movement from a piece. For instance, I'm working on
Mussorgsky's *Pictures at an Exhibition*. Many people just want the
Promenade but I don't want make people download 10-14 files to get the
whole piece. Yes, we could zip them, but they would still have to print a
dozen files and there's no indication of order.
What I'm wondering is if there is some way to create a LilyPond file
containing a book with several scores, where the source of the movements is
an external file. "includes" won't do. Something like this:
\book {
\score {
import "./ly_files/promenade-1/promenade-1.ly"
}
\score {
import "./ly_files/gnomus/gnomus.ly"
}
...
}
Possible? On a wish list? Some other way to do it?
If there's no good way to do it, I will probably write a Perl preprocessor
to do it.
