Large set of parts

2018-04-26 Thread Nathan Sprangers
Hi all, Does anyone have any suggestions on how to produce a large set of parts from an existing score? Each instrument's music is saved as a variable separate from the score staves. So I need to create a \score and \staff for 31 parts. Do I create 31 separate files? Can I do something with bookp

One of my professors suggested sketching a piece on a 4 staff system when composing/orchestrating. I did try doing this in lilypond with the idea that snippets and phrases from each staff would be stored as variables which could then be used in the full score.

Hi Torsten, Thank you, that makes so much sense now. I was definitely struggling to understand how the various spacing settings work together, especially between VerticalAxisGroup and StaffGrouper. Thanks, Nathan On Wed, Feb 21, 2018 at 5:49 AM, Torsten Hämmerle wrote: > Nathan Sprang
