Re: Is there a way to split a score across two sheets?

[Sven Axelsson]

Ah, ok. Thanks Brian Barker, now I understand. Ben Beeson, as has already been stated, there probably isn't a good way to do that automatically (well maybe with Scheme scripting). And, disregarding how to produce the correct output, wouldn't it be hard to get a decent layout for the music? It would mean that the bar lines must line up not only at the end of each line, but in the middle as well. I would imagine this would produce poorly spaced music that would actually be harder to read this way.

Why not print the music in landscape mode on several pages and maybe tape them together to make up a full score instead?

That's probably the best way (easiest to maintain),
provided you can force them to stay in sync vertically.

For a cheap hack, have a look at LSR502 http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=502   If you typeset this snippet with the following music (sic) included simultaneously you get the attached muntin.png which you can then split graphically.
muntin = {
 s2.*4
 \once \override Score.BarLine #'thin-kern = #12
 \bar "||"  s2.*4
}


Or (more postprocessing!) make a collage of individual systems which you can generate as png files using clip.regions, as in:
\layout {  indent = 0
 clip-regions = #(list
   (cons
     (make-rhythmic-location 1 0 1)
     (make-rhythmic-location 3 0 1))
   (cons
     (make-rhythmic-location 3 0 1)
     (make-rhythmic-location 5 0 1))
   )
}


Cheers, Robin
