I have some snippets which I'm including in a TeX document (via
lyluatex, not lilypond-book, but the process is largely the same). The
thing is that for some of these snippets I need two variants which
differ by the appearance of a single `*`. I don't want to have maintain
two full versions of the snippets, so I'm trying to figure out the best
way to structure file inclusion and/or tags.
One of the snippets looks like this (with the `*`):
\version "2.18.2"
\language "english"
aster = \set stanza = \markup{"*"}
<<
\new Staff \with {
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}
{
\key f \major
\set Score.timing = ##f
\omit Stem
f'4 g'( a' ) a' a'-- \bar "|" a' g' a' bflat' a' g' a'--( c'' ) \bar
"|" a'( g' ) a'( f' ) f'-- \bar "||"
}
\addlyrics {
To you, O Lord, \aster be high -- est glo -- ry and praise for -- ev --
er.
}
>>
The other variant would simply remove the `\aster` call (or have it do
nothing). Does anyone have any suggestions for the most efficient way
to do this?
Since it comes up almost every time I post one of my snippets: Yes I
know about `\relative` and yes I know `bflat` can be abbreviated as `bf`
in English. I find both of these make the musical code harder to read
and thus will not be changing them. I value clarity more than
keystrokes in this instance.
