I'd be happy to do this. Then the syntax could look something like this:
voice1verse1 = { some notes }
voice2verse1 = { more notes }
voice1verse2 = concatenate { still more notes };
voice2verse2 = concatenate { ..and more notes };
Hey, that's a neat idea. We could append to variables iso. overwriting,
if they have been defined before,
\parallelMusic #'(a b) { c | d | c | d }
\parallelMusic #'(a b) { p | q }
-
a = { { c c } p }
b = { { d d } q }

You can also define something similar for mixing a melody and lyrics,
but you'll have to use \lyricmode explicitly, which is not convenient
here.

Re: parallel versus series scoring
of course, its pretty simple - see attached file. After you finished a piece, do ctrl+a and copy the content of the cells to a .ly file. cheers, john Am Mittwoch, den 18.01.2006, 14:05 -0800 schrieb Jay Hamilton, Sound and Silence: John- Could you go into this alittle more. I'm using OOo alot though the winxp version for lilypond and music matters. I'm also trying to write largish scores and keeping track of everything is a problem. But what I'm unsure about with your 'solution' is how do you then copy/paste the material into a form that lily can read? Without the underlying coding of OOo interferring with the music?

parallel versus series scoring
I'm a newcomer to lilypond, having previously used abc. One thing I find vexing is how to enter scores so it is easy to see all the staves on the screen at the same time during coding (i.e. in the source code). The Lilypond manual explains well how to code this way: staff1, all measures staff2, all measures staff3, all measures With compositions of any length, this means you can't see in the source, for instance, measure 57 from all staves at the same time, except perhaps with awkward editor screen splits. I'd prefer to have this organization in the source: staff1,measure-group1 staff2,measure-group1 staff3,measure-group1 % staff1,measure-group2 staff2,measure-group2 staff3,measure-group2 This is how I'm accustomed to coding in abc, and what I like about it is that I get to the point where I can compose this way, without having to use paper first. In a sense, the source is organized similarly to the actual score, with staves aligned vertically and the notes proceeding to the right. I suppose it would be possible to do this with the simple expedient of using one text line for each staff, no matter how long it is, but then it's not particularly scrollable or printable. A better solution would be to break each staff up into measure groups that fit in a conveniently-sized line of source. Two ways I can think of that might work would be... 1. assign measure groups to separate strings, then concatenate the strings 2. change contexts on the fly, adding notes to each staff in turn (like abc) Unfortunately I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do either. Could any seasoned lilyponders offer me some coding advice, and help me across the pond, so to speak? Thanks...
