Re: Tagging Troubles

Thanks for the response.  Now I'm running into a different problem.

I revised my score.ly and my piece.ly.  Here's what they look like:

% piece.ly

woodwinds = {
        <<
        % 2 flutes
        \tag #'fl \new Staff { 
        \tag #'fl \set Staff.midiInstrument = "flute"
        \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \center-align { "2" \line { 
"Flutes"
} } }
        \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = \markup { \center-align { "2" \line {
"Fl." } } }
        \tag #'fl << \Key \global \partcombine \fluteOne \fluteTwo >> }
        % 2 oboes
        \tag #'ob12 \new Staff { 
        \tag #'ob12 \set Staff.midiInstrument = "oboe"
        \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \center-align { "2" \line { 
"Oboes" }
} }
        \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = \markup { \center-align { "2" \line {
"Ob." } } }
        \tag #'ob12 << \Key \global \partcombine \oboeOne \oboeTwo >> }
        % 2 clarinets in bb
        \tag #'bbcl \new Staff { 
        \tag #'bbcl \set Staff.midiInstrument = "clarinet"
        \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \center-align { "2" \line {
"Clarinets" } \line { "in B" \smaller \flat } } }
        \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = \markup { \center-align { "2" \line {
"Clar." } \line { "in B" \smaller \flat } } }
        \tag #'bbcl << \transpose bes c \Key \global \transpose bes c 
\partcombine
\clarinetBbOne \clarinetBbTwo >> }
        % 2 bassoons
        \tag #'bn12 \new Staff { 
        \tag #'bn12 \set Staff.midiInstrument = "bassoon"
        \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \center-align { "2" \line {
"Bassoons" } } }
        \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = \markup { \center-align { "2" \line {
"Bsns." } } }
        \tag #'bn12 << \Key \global \partcombine \bassoonOne \bassoonTwo >> }
        >>
}
brass = {
        <<
        % 4 horns in f
        \new GrandStaff  <<
        % 2 horn in f
                \tag #'fhn12 \new Staff { 
                \tag #'fhn12 \set Staff.midiInstrument = "french horn"
                \tag #'fhn12 << \Key \global \partcombine \hornFOne \hornFTwo 
>> }
        % 2 horns in f
                \tag #'fhn34 \new Staff { 
                \tag #'fhn34 \set Staff.midiInstrument = "french horn"
                \tag #'fhn34 << \transpose f c \Key \global \transpose f c 
\partcombine
\hornFThree \hornFFour >> } 
        >>
        >>
}

% score.ly

\include "piece.ly"
#(set-global-staff-size 14)
%\set Score.skipBars = ##t
\score { 
                \new StaffGroup \woodwinds
                \new StaffGroup \brass
                \layout { }
                \midi { }
}

When I try and compile score.ly I recieve a syntax error - unexpected \new,
referring to the \new preceding StaffGroup \brass.  Can you think of a
solution to this problem.  As an aside question is it possible to give an
"instrumentName" to the grandstaff?

Thanks.
