Hi Werner,
What I imagine is a possibility to specify `front matter' and
`back matter' that gets processed but not displayed, for example
\relative c' {
\frontmatter { f4( }
g a b c
\backmatter { d) }
}
which should be handled as
\relative c' {
\partial 4 f4( \break
g a b c \break
d)
}
with the first and third line thrown away.
Something like that would be extremely helpful for chords with many
ties, like in piano music.
A truly ugly hack:
\version "2.19.81"
frontmatter =
#(define-music-function (mus) (ly:music?)
#{
\omit Score.Clef
\omit Score.TimeSignature
\stopStaff
\hideNotes
#mus
\bar "|"
\set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment 0)
\unHideNotes
\startStaff
#}
)
backmatter =
#(define-music-function (mus) (ly:music?)
#{
\stopStaff
\hideNotes
#mus
#}
)
\relative c' {
\frontmatter { <f a>4~( }
<f a> g a b c~
\backmatter { c) }
}
One of the many drawbacks being that the hidden music takes up space.
(Which, funnily enough, is in fact no problem in _my_ workflow, since I
always use Frescobaldi's auto-trim feature for copying the music
examples into my LibreOffice documents.)
Best
Lukas
