Hi, Karlin, Brian, Martin -
TLDR;
"c d e f" is placed inside \score { \relative c { ... } }. All the other stock \paper, \layout, and \version code is added, also.
Long version:
Re the lack of brackets, I guess I need to change the Free Version to at least let you see what's in the Advanced tab - I'm just about to head off for work, so not certain you have the boilerplate code. I've pasted that below. Obviously, the placeholder "%% MSLily_Placeholder_SimpleCode" is replaced with the Simple Editor text.
Just as a quick mock-up, a piano entry would use something like:
\new PianoStaff {
<<
\new Staff { c d e f } % here, "\new Staff" is redundant ...
\new Staff { \clef bass c,2 g' }
>>
}
The brief goal was to remove all of the re-usable code and get down to writing pitches/rhythms. The "Simple Editor" is meant to be just that - a soft entry for my coworkers who don't type, nonetheless code.
In the Settings Dialog, I've called this boilerplate text a "Code Wrapper". In the Free Version, the basic idea is that you can't edit this. It's completely edit-able in SE, and I'd like to add the option for users to save/load/edit various Wrappers for whatever they're currently doing. Just haven't coded that part yet.
Actually, I'd be interested in advice on whether I have provided the correct boilerplate ... it works, but I don't know that it is technically/stylistically correct.
Cheers ~
Denton
