RE: lilypond include scripts
Hi David There is a (brief) new section in the Learning Manual at 4.6.2 which introduces you to using variables for tweaking. See http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Using-variables-for-tweaks.html#Using-variables-for-tweaks . Might help, as your overrides seem to occur in pairs and could be combined into one variable.

For exacple, this is one bar: \override Beam #'auto-knee-gap = #6 r2 r4 \mf d''16[ d' \change Staff = lh \override Beam #'auto-knee-gap = #6 \override Stem #'direction = #UP c' bf] | % bar 11 fs16[ \change Staff = rh \override Stem #'direction = #DOWN ef' \change Staff = lh \override Stem #'direction = #UP c' a ] fs16[ \change Staff = rh \override Stem #'direction = #DOWN c' \change Staff = lh \override Stem #'direction = #UP bf g ] g16[ bf g ef] \change Staff = rh \override Stem #'direction = #DOWN a'[ ef' \change Staff = lh \override Stem #'direction = #UP d' c' ] | % bar 12 I don't think I can put the ovrrides and change Staff commands into a variable. However it must be possible to build a function for some of these commands which would reduce the amount of typing and make the code clearer. I can guess at how to do this but I don't yet know where to look for all the ingrediants. each of the commands which changes staff to upper or in this case rh also has a stem direction change. So it should be possilbe to combine both of those commands into something like set! chRHDn to ( \change Staff = rh \override Stem #'direction = #DOWN) and set! chLHUp to ( \change Sraff = lh \override Stem #'direction = #UP) and save it to UpDown.ly and add \include UpDown.ly in my main code. I just don't know how to construct such a script. Am I on the right or the wrong track here? Cheers David -- David Fedoruk B.Mus.

Op donderdag 14 februari 2008, schreef David Fedoruk: I don't think I can put the ovrrides and change Staff commands into a variable. You can! I often use: bakg = \override Beam #'auto-knee-gap = #6 rh = \change Staff = rh lh = \change Staff = lh etc. Fot stem direction LilyPond already knows \stemUp and \stemDown (and \stemNeutral to let LilyPond decide). So your example would become: \bakg r2 r4\mf d''16[ d' \lh \bakg \stemUp c' bf] | %bar 11 fs16[ \rh \stemDown ef' \lh \stemUp c' a] fs16[ \rh \stemDown c' \lh \stemUp bf g] etc. Met vriendelijke groet, Wilbert Berendsen -- http://www.wilbertberendsen.nl/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Mahatma Gandi ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
