Automatic metronome track?

I want to automate the process of generating a midi metronome track for rehearsal purposes. It's trivial if the piece is in the same meter throughout, e.g. if the piece has 97 measures in 4/4 you can do: \new Voice = Click { \set midiInstrument = #woodblock

Re: exercise notation

Hello Jose, I've found the simplest thing is to generate them all at once. It doesn't take that much time for normal sized choral pieces and you get all the files at once. If you have the music for each voice in separate variables, say \soprano, \alto, \tenor, \bass, then a \book block like

Re: Understanding herd of curly braces

Hi Seth, It sounds as though you've not had previous exposure to programming languages where nested braces (curly and otherwise) are common. The short answer to your question is that the braces identify which pieces of text go with which command. The indentation levels are only significant in

Completely separating notation from output logic

I'm trying to develop an include file with Scheme functions that will allow notation files to contain nothing more than a header block and music for one or more voices. Below is what I've got so far. What I'm finding is that I can easily define a music function that appends voices to a list and

Thanks, Carl. I probably should have included some background information. If I had only one piece of music to worry about, I'd do it exactly as you suggest. Problem is I've got 404 Bach Chorales on the Solfege Resources site and expect to eventually have hundreds or even thousands more from

Hi Phil Graham, Thanks very much for the information and discussion.  It's all extremely useful.  Let me see if I can paraphrase a few points that are influencing my thinking: We all seems to agree that: 1. The music of the chorales (the sequences of pitches and rhythms notated in the
