Re: Showing instrument name and correct clef with cue notes

[Simon Bailey]

hi,

<RESEND due to mail weirdness (sorry, graham!)/>

i remembered that there was an instrumentCueName property defined at
some point, and have extended the solution a bit more.

the rest stays the same.

you could probably create a scheme function that takes 4 parameters,
quoteClef, originalClef, instrumentCueName and music and just use that
in the music block of the \cueDuring command, resulting in something
like:

\tag #'cued { \cueDuring #"trbnIIIquote" #1 { \quoteMe #"bass"
#"tenor" #"Trbn. 3" {R1*3} } }
\tage #'uncued { R1*3 }

which would mean you wouldn't have to define a preQuote command for
each instrument you're using.
