I'm sorry about all these damn-fool queries of mine; I promise to go back
under my rock soon. Anyway:
In the current 18th century suite I'm typesetting (for two treble
instruments without bass), there is a separate variable (containing the
notes) for each part of each movement. Then there are global declarations
about the instruments, and the key and time-signature of each movement; and
these are all brought together in score blocks.
The one thing I don't know how to do is to declare the relative pitch
globally. Thus, each music variable looks like
movement1_part1 = \new Voice \relative c'' { notes, notes, and more notes }
The difficulty is that I want to re-set the second part for a bass
instrument, so it might start off as
movement1_part2 = \new Voice \relative c { notes, notes, and more notes }
Currently this means changing the relative pitch for each movement
individually. It would be much more efficient to be able to do this just
once at the beginning, with an appropriate global declaration. Can this be
done? Is there a way to set the relative pitch of some music in a \global
block?
(Note, I have indeed RTFM, but it's quite hard - even with the search
function - to find answers to this, or examples of such use. Hence this
message...)
Thank you,
Alasdair
