Hi list,
My name's Florian, I am a Lilypond newbie, and currently one of my
strategies to get beyond that stage is to use Lilypond to redo a small
piano piece I wrote a while ago in Sibelius (a pdf is available at
http://flo.mur.at/muteandcontinue-piano.pdf)
The main question this brings up for me is how to deal with polyphonic
piano music *in which the number of voices is dynamic*. In other words,
the classic fugue situation (the piece is actually a variation on Bach's
b-minor fugue from WTC, book one), where voices are fluid and can appear
or disappear at different stages during the piece.
A nice option with regards to input-convenience seems to be "Writing
Music in Parallel":
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Multiple-voices#Writing-music-in-parallel
However, I am not sure whether that approach is compatible with the
flexibility in terms of voice management which I require, i.e. can I
change the number of voices during the piece?
I would be helpful for any suggestions as to which of Lilypond's
polyphonic strategies lends itself best to this particular situation.
Thanks for your help, and what a great piece of software this is!
best,
flo.H
