Not as far as I know. If you're curious about what other people do, you could look at mutopia -- they have many lilypond files, ranging from instrumental solo to SATB choir to full orchestra. Your approach looks reasonable. I personally have one \global voice, which has all spaces, \breaks, \key, \time, and \mark, but there's nothing wrong with spreading that across two voices. For most of my files, I have one file with just the music (for example, tetra.ly) and then a number of individual instruments -- violin1.ly, violin2.ly, viola.ly, cello.ly, and sc-tetra.ly. "sc" stands for score. I made a simple script that does "ly2dvi sc-*.ly" (along with xdvi with my favourite settings), which I can use for any project. When I'm working on tetra, it complies sc-tetra.ly; when I'm working on my overture, it complies sc-orch.ly; etc. (when I'm writing for orchestra, I split the one music file into sections -- winds.ly, brass.ly, etc) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
