% Feel free to compile the whole message... % % Is there a way to target a specific context (eg. one of % several Staff contexts) from within the \layout block? % Here's one case (of many) where I think this would be % useful:
\version "2.13.34" %% music for the individual parts: violin = { c''1 } cello = { \clef bass c1 } pianoRH = { c''1 } pianoLH = { \clef bass c1 } %% the full score: fullScore = << \new Staff = "violin staff" { \violin } \new Staff = "cello staff" { \cello } \new PianoStaff = "piano staves" << \new Staff = "piano RH staff" { \pianoRH } \new Staff = "piano LH staff" { \pianoLH } >> >> %% now some layout styles: smallStaff = \with { fontSize = #-3 \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3) \override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep -3) } layoutStyleA = \layout { \context { \Staff \smallStaff } } % Okay, so this is already possible---a score with totally % separate content and style: \score { \fullScore \layout { \layoutStyleA } } % but I'd like to be able to target individual contexts from % within the \layout block: %{ layoutStyleB = \layout { \context { \Staff = "violin staff" \smallStaff } \context { \Staff = "cello staff" \smallStaff } } \score { \fullScore \layout { \layoutStyleB } } %} % Yes, I know I can use individual \with blocks within my % fullScore definition that refer to generic variables that % I can define differently in other files for use with % \include: %{ \include "style_a.ily" %\include "style_b.ily" << \new Staff = "violin staff" \with { \violinStyles } { \violin } \new Staff = "cello staff" \with { \celloStyles } { \cello } % etc... >> %} % But it seems that being able to target contexts by their % specific ID name would be a lot more flexible (or at least % easier), especially when a lot of different instruments % are involved. This would keep the musical content of the % \score block cleaner; that is to say, content and style % would be truly separate, which I think is a good thing. % Is there a way? % % Thanks. % - Mark _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
