Re: Notating same part in two different mixtures of clefs

[Christopher Webster]

Yes - just to confirm that the tags were exactly what I needed.  Here's the sort of thing I wanted to do:

highClef =
    {
        \tag #'cello { \clef "tenor" }
        \tag #'gamba { \clef "alto" }
    }

dots = \relative c
    {
        \clef "bass"
        g'4 a b r
        \highClef
        d4 cis d r
        \clef "bass"
        g,1
    }

\book
{
    \score { \keepWithTag #'gamba \dots }
    \score { \keepWithTag #'cello \dots }
}


It works like a charm.  Big thank-you from me.

Thank you!  Of your three proposed solutions, the one with tags looks like the winner.  I didn't know about tags - they look ideally suited.

A feature of your first solution which I would have hoped to avoid is that you do seem to have duplicated notation - the "s1*3" and the "s1*2" - in the source.  Or did I misunderstand what you were suggesting?

And the feature of the third solution which I would have hoped to avoid is that I would need to edit and re-process the input to get the output with the other set of clefs.  I was looking for a solution in which one input, processed once, would produce both outputs.

But the tags - they look just right!  I'll try those.

Many thanks again

What's the most elegant way in which I can enter the notes just once, but
generate two output scores - one with bass and tenor clefs, the other with
bass and alto clefs?

what about separate voices for clefs?  something like:

<<
  { music }
  { \clef bass s1*3 \clef alto  s1*2 }
  %{ \clef bass s1*3 \clef tenor s1*2 }

you could also try tags
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/different-editions-from-one-source#using-tags

Or simply store the clef in a variable - that's probably the simplest method:

myclef = { \clef alto }   % or \clef tenor
{ \clef bass c c \myclef f' f' }

hope this helps,
