Score layout in a separate file

2012-04-03 Thread Siska Ádám 
Dear List,


is there a way to put the layout block for a score in a variable that lives in 
a separate file? Unfortunately the following won't compile:



myMusic = \relative d' {
  d4 d d d
}

myLayout = \layout {
   \context {
\Staff
\remove Clef_engraver
  }
}

\score {
  \myMusic
  \myLayout
}



I tried several other ways to export the content of the layout block, but none 
of them succeeded. I'm writing parts of an orchestral piece and I'd like to 
include the layout definition for these scores in a separate file.


Thanks for any help,
Ádám

Hi,

try:

\layout { \myLayout }

have you tried using \include?

Hi,


thanks a lot, this works! Out of curiosity, could you or somebody on the list 
explain to me why this works? It is a bit weird to me, as I also tried to have 
the variable without the \layout in it (so that it was myLayout = \context { 
etc. } and then I used \layout { \myLayout } ), but that didn't work either. 
I'm just surprised that this solution (which reads at the end \layout { \layout 
{ etc. } } ) will compile...


Thank you,
Ádám

You must put the variable call inside a \layout block:

\score {
  \myMusic
  \layout {
\myLayout
  }
}

will work fine.

Best.

The LilyPond grammar in the appendices of the NR will show what to use
here.

 It is a bit weird to me, as I also tried to have the variable without
 the \layout in it (so that it was myLayout = \context { etc. } and
 then I used \layout { \myLayout } ), but that didn't work either. I'm

 \layout { etc. } } ) will compile...

Variables in LilyPond are not textual entities but Scheme expressions.
Some keywords like \layout throw LilyPond into a mode, like one suitable
for creating output definitions, or drum parts or whatever.  And to
interpret such a variable, you sometimes need to be in the right mode
already (because the information _what_ kind of output definition is in
the variable created by \layout is not there).  Basically, when putting
stuff into a variable and reusing the result, you are safer off if you
consult the grammar when things go wrong.
