Hello,
I am an occasional Bb clarinetist and very bad at transposing on the fly.
I would like to create alternative versions of a score based on the value of a
parameter.
I have been using variables to hold phrases and sections, but I can't find how
to test their contents.
I have read about controlling and filtering using tags and I have seen #(if in
the SATB template and read about \if and \unless, but I can't put it all
together and do something like (in a pseudo-code example) ...
Set a variable "myInstrument" to be "Clarinet"
Subsequently
if "myInstrument" = "Clarinet" {Clarinet notes} else {Score as written notes}
Or
if "myInstrument" = "Clarinet" \include "ClarinetPart.ly" else \include
"NotClarinetPart.ly"
If I have understood correctly, tags cannot have numbers in their names, so I
would like to avoid using tags, if possible.
Thank you
