Hello list,
for my current project I have some scores located in
individual files:
A.ly
B.ly
C.ly
which can be compiled independently, and a latex file
containing calls like this
\lilypondfile{A.ly}
[... some text ...]
\lilypondfile{B.ly}
[... even more text ...]
\lilypondfile{C.ly}
This works fine.
Now I want to include an appendix for transposing instruments
(Saxophone in e flat etc.) where all the files are transposed
accordingly.
Now my (probably way too complicated and crude) idea sounds like this:
I need a way to define an optional variable that controls (if defined)
the transposition so I can say, for example:
\begin{appendix}
\chapter{For Bb instruments}
\begin{lilypond}
#(define transposeTo d)
\include{A.ly}
\end{lilypond}
\begin{lilypond}
#(define transposeTo d)
\include{B.ly}
\end{lilypond}
...
\end{appendix}
As an alternative, the #(define ...) stuff could be hidden in a file
transposeToBes.ily and the above calls change to
\begin{appendix}
\chapter{For Bb instruments}
\begin{lilypond}
\include{transposeToBes.ily}
\include{A.ly}
\end{lilypond}
\begin{lilypond}
\include{transposeToBes.ily}
\include{B.ly}
\end{lilypond}
...
\end{appendix}
Is this feasible, or am I overlooking the obvious?
I like the idea of having compilable standaloe files for each
piece of music, so this is what I want to achieve.
Regards,
Marc
