RE: \parallelMusic and PianoStaff, again

[Palmer, Ralph]

Beautiful! Thanks, Mats.

I modified the snippet to make it a little more readable in the score.

Would this be a candidate for the LSR? If so, I'll go ahead and submit
it. Is there any standard format?

Thanks again,

Ralph

Just keep repeating bar after bar, without any extra curly braces.
Also, I had forgot to include \voiceOne / \voiceTwo and so on (below, I
did this implicitly using the <<{...} \\ {...} >> feature).
Here comes a modified version of your example.

\version "2.10.0"
\include "english.ly"

Music = {
       \key c \major

       \time 4/4
        \parallelMusic #'(voiceA voiceB voiceC voiceD) { % Bar 1
        r8    g'16[ c''] e''[ g' c'' e''] r8    g'16[ c''] e''[ g' c''
e''] |
        c'2                               c'2 |
        r8    a16[ d'] f'[ a d' f'] r8    a16[ d'] f'[ a d' f'] |
        c2                                c2 |

% Bar 2
        a'8 b'         c'' d''            e'' f''            g'' a''' |
        d'4              d'                d'                d' |
        c'16 d' e' f'    d' e' f' g'       e' f' g' a'       f' g' a' b'
|
        a4               a4                a4                a4 |
% Bar 3 ...
}
}

\score {
  \new PianoStaff<<
    \Music
    \new Staff << \voiceA \\ \voiceB >>
    \new Staff {
      \clef bass
      << \voiceC \\ \voiceD >>
    }
  >>
}
