Re: Output Combined Parts

[Ralph Little]

Hi there,
The \score() in the parts files is triggering the individual part
output.
What I do (and most others I think) is put the parts (without \score)
into a notes file, and have separate files for parts and the score
generation.

E.g.

Notes.ly:
-------------------------------------
PartViolin = \notes {
        a4 b c d
}
PartCello = \notes {
        d4 c b a
}
-------------------------------------


PartViolin.ly:
--------------------------
\include "Notes.ly"
\header {
        ....header stuff...
}
\score {
        \PartViolin
}
--------------------------


PartCello.ly:
--------------------------
\include "Notes.ly"
\header {
        ....header stuff...
}
\score {
        \PartCello
}
--------------------------


Score.ly:
--------------------------
\include "Notes.ly"
\header {
        ....header stuff...
}
\score {
        \notes {
                \context StaffGroup = Strings {
                        \context Staff {
                                \PartViolin
                        }
                        \context Staff {
                                \PartCello
                        }
                }
        }
}
--------------------------


...or something like that.
Can't vouch for the syntax because I'm at work and haven't got time to
check!
You get the picture though?

BTW, there was some discussion recently in this group about getting the
bulk of the \header section into a separate file also which I have found
VERY useful.
See here for more details:
