Hello, I just joined this list because I was searching unsuccessfully
for information about Lilypond's features for extracting and producing
individual parts from a score. Does Lilypond have features akin to
Finale's linked-parts?
I suspect my searching was unsuccessful since the work "part" is used
so frequently in the english language. Any urls to point me in the
right direction would be great.
Background: composer using Finale since the early 1990's. In the past
several years I have learned some code, C#, C++, SQL, tiny bits of
bash. I don't know Python yet but it's on my to-do list.
The idea of controlling music notation with the precision of an
interpreted text language is highly appealing and I plan to learn
Lilypond soon (unless it has, like, zero support for creating parts).
Thank you!
Matt
Welcome to the community, Matt! The best bit of advice I can give is to
look at the introductory stuff on the website. Start with the
Introduction itself, then follow up with the Learning Manual. Others
have pointed out that LilyPond builds scores from parts rather than
building scores and extracting parts, but the website stuff may help to
clarify it.
I'm sure you'll be delighted at the kind and degree of control LilyPond
will give you. Have fun!
Cheers,
Colin
