Re: Writing Orchestral Parts

need to extract parts from this (can you tell I was a finale user for 7 years?)
Did I create the file backwards, as in should I have created the parts first
then put them into a larger score file? Or is there a variable I set to tell
lilypond to generate a part from that line?

Hi Josh,

Out of experience, I write seperate parts, which I later combine in all kind of
scores.
You can download a simple example here (mind the wordwrap):
 
http://www.arnorog.nl/private/downloads/lilypond/arr8ab_staden-cantate-domino.7z.bin

Rename the download to staden-cantate-domino.7z and unzip it (retaining the file
structure)

This should get you going.

I'm sure there is als some documentation about this.
