Hi. Not sure if you have seen my earlier posts - but I don't have my \tempo
and \mark items in a global variable. I wrote the quartet part (starting at
approx. bar 70) in a separate file, making proofreading and finetuning a lot
quicker than the combined score. In the first part of the score (bars 1-70)
the \time, \tempo and \key changes are defined in the main choir part, since
the quartet is doing nothing. In the latter part, the \time and \tempo
changes are defined in the quartet file, as this is the dominant part from
bar 70.

If there is a simple way of "blanking" all music from a voice, effectively
replacing all content with full bar rests (while obeying the time signature
in each bar), that could be a useful approach in my case. I moved the
quartet to the desired spot (bar 70) by copying bars from more or less
inactive voices and manually modifying them to be all rests. If there is a
smarter way to accomplish this - either in Frescobaldi or directly in
Lilypond - I'd be happy to learn it

In effect - if there is someway to have \voiceA changed to \voiceAA in the
example below, it would be a lot easier to make the global skeleton that
seems to be needed.


voiceA = {
\time 2/4
  \tempo Hurtigere 4 = 126
  r4\mp gis, |
  \time 3/4
  gis gis ais |
  \time 2/4
  b b |
  \time 3/4
  ais cis b |
  ais2.\fermata ~ |
}
voiceAA = {
 \time 2/4
  R2  |
  \time 3/4
  R2. |
  \time 2/4
  R2  | 
  \time 3/4
  R2. |
  R2. |
}
