Re: Can \include gregorian.ly be used for some of the score only

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Martin,

in your Lilypond installation directory there is a directory "ly" that 
contains "gregorian.ly" (as well as others).

You can always simply open this file to get an understanding of what \include 
"gregorian.ly" actually does. This defines a few macros and sets a few global 
layout options. You can simply adapt this for your case.

Cheers,
Valentin

Can \include gregorian.ly be used for some of the score only

Sorted. In the non-gregorian score blocks, adding

\context 
{
\Score
\override SpacingSpanner.packed-spacing = ##f
}
ragged-last = ##f

solves the issue.

Can \include gregorian.ly be used for some of the score only

[Martin Baker]

I am creating a lengthy score (using \bookpart) which contains a mixture of 
chant and polyphony. If I use \include “gregorian.ly” it distorts the 
polyphony, but without it I cannot set the chant the way I want.

Is there a way to confine the \include “gregorian.ly” to just the chant 
sections? I’ve tried various options but always get an error message unless 
it’s placed at the top of the file.

Thanks.
