Hello Katie,
Your example code does not compile, there are
several errors and omissions. The best way to get help from the list is
to provide code that is not missing obvious things such as closing
braces for each variable (one of the problems with your code). Also,
always specify the version of Lilypond that you are using, since syntax
etc. changes between versions.
Also, \scaleDurations needs to be followed by a musical
statement. Please see my code example for an example that works how I
think you want it to.
\version "2.16.1"
melody =
\relative c' {
\clef treble
\key g \major
\time 12/8
c4. c c c
}
upper =
\relative c' {
\clef treble
\key g \major
\time 12/8
\set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 4/4
\scaleDurations 3/2 {
c4 c c c
}
}
lower =
\relative c {
\clef bass
\key g \major
\set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 4/4
\scaleDurations 3/2 {
c4 c c c
}
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff \melody
\new Staff \upper
\new Staff \lower
>>
}
