Re: Pull in external LilyPond files into a score of movements

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi All,

to use a file for including definitions and also to compile it stand-alone, I use a command to conditionally create the score. It is integrated in a system to execute templates:
https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/tree/master/templates/lalily

Attached is a short example, which conditionally compiles (without the template framework).

Cheers,
Jan-Peter

When I'm setting up movements for a piece where I want to be able to both build them stand-alone and \include them in another file to build the entire piece, I put the \paper, \header, and \score blocks at the end of the movement file, surrounded by a comment block:

%{

\paper {

% \paper stuff here

}

\header {

% \header stuff here
}

\score {

% \score stuff here

}

%}

If I want to build the movement on its own, I change the %{ to %%{, which comments out the comment block beginning, so that \paper, \header, and \score are all parsed. If I'm including the movement in another file as part of a complete piece, I just need to change %%{ to %{ so that \paper, \header, and \score blocks are all commented out.
