Thank you Abraham. I will try to come up with an example soon. I would like
to learn how to accomplish this without resorting to kludges that create bad
coding. My philosophy in coding is that something should be written once (if
at all possible) and then included as many times a necessary. That way, when
it's time to do a revision, you just change the single definition and all
other instances of that passage get updated as well, rather than having
multiple versions of the same notes. That's a nightmare.

Talk with the group soon as I get a little further along with the project.

Stan,

No reason you can't do what you proposed! There is going to be quite a few
ways to do what you'd like. I'm not sure they would be any better than
yours without seeing a sample of the final score. However, once you
implement your idea, it may be helpful and instructive for you to share
your file here (or privately with any number of our experienced users) to
get some commentary, both about the code structure and general coding
style, and potentially things that could be improved/simplified/etc. Lots
of good things to learn here from others!

Best,
Abraham

How to create a leadsheet from a collection of parts in a score

[Stan Mulder]

I would like to create a lead sheet from a 7-piece jazz score where the
melody moves between trumpet, clarinet and trombone. Is there a suggested
way to do this without creating spaghetti code? 

Is it as simple as defining various clarinet, trumpet and trombone variables
that contain notes and then concatenate those notes into a single "lead
sheet" variable? 

Thanks group.
