Yes. > If so, what do you dislike about them for your use case? In a perfect world, I want to be able to say [pseudocode] \makeScore #’( tenor, lead, bari, bass ) for a barbershop quartet piece and \makeScore #’( sop1, sop2, alt, ten1, ten2, bass ) for SSATTB, and have the framework Do The Right Thing™ automagically. I don’t want to have to use templates (which, as I understand it, would require a different template for TTBB and SSATTB), I don’t want to have to invoke command-line tools (e.g., makefile) or involve any non-Lilypond code/app, etc. And to be clear: “I [don’t] want to” = “I [don’t] want the average Lilypond user to”. Of course, if I fundamentally misunderstand the way Frescobaldi templates work, please correct me! :) Thanks, Kieren. __________________________________________________ My work day may look different than your work day.
