A Zen master would reply "mu" (= un-ask the question). "Extracting" parts is a meaningless idea in LilyPond. What you actually do is build scores. A score may consist of a full orchestral score, or a two-measure example of a melody. Have you gone through the tutorial yet? http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/learning/tutorial That's really the place to start. Oh, another thing; Getting your work flow set up makes a lot of difference. While there are graphical front-ends available for LilyPond I prefer straight text editing. My preference is Emacs (on Windows or Linux). There is a file for setting up Emacs to recognize LilyPond input files which makes editing a lot easier. Things get color-coded and indents are set up, etc.
I can't think of one. Then again, I haven't used anything but LilyPond for at least ten years. -David |
