Re: A question about scores and parts from a blind user

[Nick Baskin]

Daniel,

Yes, when you use the "\include" function, LilyPond will treat the included file as though it is entirely included in the including file. So if you have an active "\score { . . . }" block inside the included file, LilyPond will generate that block as well as the "\score { . . . }" block in the trumpet part. To get around this, I usually put all of the notes in a file with no "\score { . . . }" block and then have separate files for the score and all the parts. That way I can use "\include" without generating a score that I don't want. Does that make sense?

HTH,

Nick

Hello everyone,
I am attempting to finish and arrangement to a song for three brass parts. I'm not sure I fully grasp the understanding of the \include and its function. I have one file which contains all of the variables that I am using as well as the layout of the score. What I am trying to do, is used that file to create my parts. I have created a trumpet part file, and when I compile it using the variable from the score file, it returns to me a 7 or 8 page long pdf. this doesn't seem right to me, as the score itself is only five or six pages long. The part for the trumpet should be in my estimation around two or three pages long. I have compressed the multi measure rest. Can anyone tell me why my compilation is so large? Is it including the entire score all over again? Thanks for any help. Sorry I was unable to provide a tiny example, I had to step away from my computer a little bit LOL.
