I agree to a certain extent. Judicious use of < music > and { music } and \break - along with a very strict naming rules (drawing on years of large project s/w coding experience) - helped me recently (70+ page Cantata). You are however quite correct - the source score blocks are very, very ugly.
I could also request the reverse - having an external file containing the music assigned to an Identifier, I'd love to be able to 'extract bars 3-8' into the current score. /Hans _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
