Hi,
I have figured out how to set up my two-part choral score to include an
ostinato line in the middle for a few bars. This is a percussive piece
(no melody).
I set:
Ostinato = \drummode {
\repeat "unfold" 4 {some percussion}
}
groupOne = \drummode {
\override Score.BarNumber #'padding = #2
\set Staff.instrument = " Group One "
bd sn etc..
}
groupTwo = \drummode {
\set Staff.instrument = " Group Two "
bd sn etc..
<<
{ sn bd r4 sn | etc... }
\context DrumStaff =
Ostinato { << \global \Ostinato >> }
>>
bd sn more groupTwo stuff
}
\score { \context ChoirStaff <<
\context DrumStaff =
groupOne { << \global \groupOne >> }
\context DrumStaff =
groupTwo { << \global \groupTwo >> }
>>
}
So, all works - I even padded my barnumbers up so they wouldn't clash
with the ChoirStaff. I can't seem to get the Ostinato line to have
"Ostinato" appear before it as I had "Group One" and "Group Two" appear
before their repective staves. Is this even possible? I tried
inserting the appropriate command at different places in the cile but to
no avail.
Thanks in advance.
