Usage: satb.ly should be included at the *end* of the input file. Before it are placed the required music and lyrics by redefining specific variables, like this: \paper { ... } \header { ... } Key = { ... } Time = { ... } SoloMusic = \relative { ... } DescantMusic = \relative { ... } DescantLyrics = \lyricmode { ... } WomenMusic = \relative { ... } WomenLyrics = \lyricmode { ... } SopranoMusic = \relative { ... } SopranoLyrics = \lyricmode { ... } AltoMusic = \relative { ... } AltoLyrics = \lyricmode { ... } VerseOne = \lyricmode { ... } VerseTwo = \lyricmode { ... } ... VerseNine = \lyricmode { ... } TenorMusic = \relative { ... } TenorLyrics = \lyricmode { ... } BassMusic = \relative { ... } BassLyrics = \lyricmode { ... } MenMusic = \relative { ... } MenLyrics = \lyricmode { ... } PianoRHMusic = \relative { ... } PianoDynamics = { ... } PianoLHMusic = \relative { ... } TwoVoicesPerStaff = ##f \include "satb.ly" All of the definitions are optional. Staves with no music will be omitted from the output. Other variables, such as the instrumentName, shortInstrumentName and MidiInstrument can also be changed by defining variables like AltoInstrumentName, BassMidiInstrument, etc. The prefixes for staves containing two divided voices are WomenDivided and MenDivided, hence the corresponding variables would be WomenDividedInstrumentName, etc. The key is defined in the variable Key, and the structure of time and repeats in the variable Time, using spacer rests. A \layout block may be defined in the variable Layout. There is no default \header block and no default \paper block. Music may be tagged with #'print or #'play to be included only in the printed score or in the MIDI file respectively. %} \include "vocal-tkit.ly" \include "piano-tkit.ly" #(define satb-voice-prefixes ;; These define the permitted prefixes to various names. ;; They are combined with a fixed set of postfixes to form ;; names such as AltoMusic, BassInstrumentName, etc. ;; These names may be redefined.
