What you are already doing is probably considered the normal way. See "3.4 An orchestral part" in the documentation. But: you could also look under "8.2.8 Different editions from one source" to learn about using tags to sift different parts out of one score. Personally, I think your way is easier. > thanks again; i'm really enjoying the program, and enjoying passing off .ly > text files to my bandmates as finished parts, and waiting for their > reaction! :-) ;-) David _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
