Hi Silvain,
I'd say singleVoice would even be clearer.
But I think maybe it would also be a good idea if we had a synax like \voice
number. Currently Lilypond only supports four voices, and any more requires
knowledge about the scheme interface, but \voice1 \voice2, ... could directly
support an arbitrary amount of voices.
One problem with this suggestion that Lilypond does not support the
simple use of digits in variable names.
As far as I understand, it is because a digit following directly
alphabetic characters is interpreted as a duration.
That's true, but in this case, it's a feature not a bug: If there were a
music function \voice accepting an integer parameter, then LilyPond
would parse \voice1 equivalently to \voice 1.
voice =
#(define-music-function (number) (index?)
#{
<>^#(format #f "(voice ~a)" number)
#})
\relative {
\voice1 c'4 d e f
\voice3 g f e d
}
Of course this function does not do anything useful yet.
