Re: Switching on/off instrument staff

[Chris Yate]

Hi Rob,

Wow, thanks, that's a much neater way. I think I should probably look at refactoring my band template.

I agree, my method is a bit complicated -- but it's bothering me a bit, because I think there was a reason I did it like this in the first place! Could well be an insufficient understanding at the time, of how variables work :-)

I do already use variables as:

violinMusic = { a b c d }

violinVoice = \new Voice {

 % voice setup stuff %
 \violinMusic 

}

In addition to the suggested way with tags (which surely works, but
which I find overly complicated), a simpler way would be to simply place
the Staffs in variables and comment out the ones you don't want to have
in the next engraving. Like this:

violinStaff = \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Violin" }{
            \relative c'' { c4 d e f }
        }

celloStaff = \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Cello" }{
            \relative c { c4 d e f }
        }

\score{
    <<
      \violinStaff
      \celloStaff
    >>
}

IMO there's no need for a complicated tag structure, just go for a
simple approach. You will want to use a variable structure for any
non-trivial score anyway ...

Best, Rob
