Hello, all:
Several tentative MusiXTeX used asked me whether it was possible with
MusiXTeX to select one or several instruments from a complete
orchestra/choir score.
At present time, not immediately possible unless writing macros with
sophisticated TeX \if\then_else. I'm presently thinking not exactly to
that, but to the opposite, i.e. cancelling output of one or several
selected instruments.
Two options are available:
1) One should be when using \selectinstrument, to check whether the
instrument number given is Zero, in which case all input is ignored
until a compulsory ending command sud as \endinstrument.
2) The second would test the staffnumbers of an instrument, and ignore
all notes, beams, rests, appended texts if that instrument has a number
of staffs equal to zero.
The inconvenience of the solution 1) is that, if global commands are
issued in the deleted text, they will be ignored.
The inconvenience of the solution 2) is that if involves a test at each
command, such as \qb, \qu, \zh, \zw, etc. Then, such a test could
slightly slow down the compilation.
In all cases, instrument numbers have to be defined as macros, so as to
be able to keep the number of instruments equal to what is actually
typed. For example:
\def\Orgue{1}
\def\Song{2}
\def\Flute{3}
and then alsays \selectinstrument\Orgue or \selectinstrument\Flute,
and \setstaffs\Orgue2 and \setstaffs\Flute1
Which then work whatever the actual instrument number of these two
instruments.
Which solution seems better to you (knowing that solution 2) is
easier, both for me a,d for the user).
I dont think the whole effort is worth your time: if one wants
individual instruments extracted from a full score, it is much
easier to use the pmx preprocessor, which has this facility built in
from the start.
