Hi list.
I am new to LilyPond. I am trying to understand spacer rests and global
block. I know that you can use the global block to handle things like tempo
and time throughout a piece however regardless of what I try it always
seems to create an extra unnecessary staff. Of course I tried to combine my
global variable with my music variable using << >> but the staff still
remains added extra and all my music gets "erased" by the spacer rests.
Clearly I am doing something wrong. I have two questions please.
1) Using Frescobaldi's template creation, it automatically separates out
the global block into the parts, not the staff. Do I need to delete these
and move the global to the score block in order to use correctly? Or how
can I add global to existing template code below? I am confused sorry.
2) What is the formula for determining the spacer rest? For example, when I
see s8*3, what does that mean? What does each number mean in sx*y?
Thank you for your advice. Here is Frescobaldi's default global block
handling. I can't get it to work << >>
\version "2.19.81"
global = {
\key c \major
\numericTimeSignature
\time 4/4
\tempo "Fast!"
s1*4 \tempo "Largo" s1*3 \tempo "Allegro"
}
cello = \relative c {
\global
% Music follows here.
c d e f e d c d e f e d c d e f e d
}
right = \relative c'' {
\global
% Music follows here.
c1 d e f c d e f
}
left = \relative c' {
\global
% Music follows here.
c1 d e f c d e f
}
celloPart = \new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "Cello"
} { \clef bass \cello }
pianoPart = \new PianoStaff \with {
instrumentName = "Piano"
} <<
\new Staff = "right" \right
\new Staff = "left" { \clef bass \left }
>>
\score {
<<
\celloPart
\pianoPart
>>
\layout { }
}
