Hi, David:
Thank you.
I have been using one "\relative" per part for all my lilypond files. My
problem of this one "\repative" is that I cannot reuse the measure other than
copy & paste and remove or add ","; "'".
e.g. 1
\version "2.17.26"
\relative c''{ a4 c b e | g, a b b | c c c a | g, a b b
}
When I reuse bar2 for bar4, I have to remove the "," on g after copy & paste.
e.g 2
\version "2.17.26"
ssOne = \relative c''{ a4 c b e |}
ssTwo = \relative c''{ f, a b b |}
ssThree = \relative c''{ c c c a |}
ssFour = \ssTwo
\score {
\new Staff \with {
}
\new Voice = "soprano" { \ssOne \ssTwo \ssThree \ssFour }
}
On this example, there is no need to copy & paste and remove ",". I wish there
is a better way of coding it.
Thanks,
Ming

To answer your first question, you ought to use a single variable to represent
the entire soprano part, a single variable for the whole alto part, etc. You
can store music expressions of any length in a variable, not just one measure
chunks. A \relative for each of four variables won't be cumbersome at all!
Hope this helps,
