Re: Is there a better way of assigning an instrument name to Voice?

2017-04-04 Thread caagr98 
Yeah, I don't think Voice supports instrumentName; my bad. I'd recommend 
replacing the \new Voice with a \new Staff. Aside from working properly 
with certain \with properties, I personally think it makes more sense. 
It's certainly more consistent with the piano staff, at least.


I would also recommend using \new for creating new contexts, and only 
use \context for referring to existing ones. You can use \with 
{instrumentName} on the PianoStaff as well, by the way.


Oh, and please reply to the list as well. In Thunderbird, it's [Reply 
List] instead of [Reply]; it's probably something similar in other clients.

Thanks..
However, I did not succeed in getting the name to print:

I was looking at the Staff headword snippet [0.02458] for an idea,
but I am not understanding it correctly...Would I need to put things
in a \context Staff command:

<<
\context Staff = "melody" <<
  \set Staff.instrumentName = "Melody" >>
 \context PianoStaff <<
\set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano  "

You can use a \with block:

\new Voice = "mel" \with { instrumentName = "Melody" } { \melody }
