Maybe it would be possible to take advantage of my work on predefined contexts for instruments? (https://github.com/openlilylib/openlilylib/tree/master/templates/predefined-instruments) With "predefined instruments", instead of writing << \new Staff = "violin" { % music... } \new Staff = "viola" { % music... } >> you basically write << \new ViolinStaff { % music... } \new ViolaStaff { % music... } >> (except that i haven't defined Violins and Violas yet, right now i only have vocal stuff). This makes it possible to do << \new ViolinStaff { % music... } \new ViolaStaff { % music... } >> \layout { \override ViolinStaff.NoteHead #'color = #red } to get just the Violin's notes colored red, achieving true separation of content from layout. ...apart from the fact that you'll also get a bunch of specific settings for each instrument, like midiInstrument and InstrumentName :) If i understood how Jan-Peter's engraver works, i think that using my predefined instruments should make it possible to write \new ViolinStaff \someMusic and mod it using \editionMod ThisEdition 1 0/4 APiece.ViolinStaff \override … since there usually should be one XxxStaff in the score. Actually, it's dead easy to define new instruments, even just for the sake of having unique contexts: % syntax: \newInstrument name parentName groupName staffSettings voiceSettings \newInstrument "ViolinI" "Violin" "StaffGroup" \with { instrumentName = "ViolinI" } \with { } What do you think?
