Hi Urs, Definitions: “Piece” or “work” means the music, i.e., the musical/textual content independent of presentation. “Score” means an engraved presentation of the piece (including full scores, parts, etc.).
> "edition engraver" sounds like a tool that engraves an edition. Yes — that’s exactly how I use it: 1. Every time I make a major adjustment to a work (e.g., add music, add annotations, etc.), I use a new edition to store/execute any tweaks across all scores. 2. Every time I make a major adjustment (e.g., change font size, layout choices, etc.) to a score, I use a new edition to store/execute the necessary tweaks for [only] that score. I also use “editions” to store/execute separate tweaks to two different presentations of the same music — e.g., the “original breaks and fingerings” version versus my arrangement/transcription/marked version. > I wouldn't call a printed part and a full score two editions. Neither would I… to me, those are two outputs within a single edition (your word “target” also being a good alternative word). > I am adding mods for a given target, like full score vs. part, or e-book vs. > printed version etc. For me, that’s done *within* an edition. But maybe this is all semantics… =) Cheers, Kieren. _______________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer www: <http://www.kierenmacmillan.info> email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
