3.1.1 Structure of a score
A \score
block must contain a single music expression
delimited by curly brackets:
\score { ... }
Note: There must be only one outer music expression in
a |
This single music expression may be of any size, and may contain other music expressions to any complexity. All of these examples are music expressions:
{ c'4 c' c' c' }
{ { c'4 c' c' c'} { d'4 d' d' d'} }
<< \new Staff { c'4 c' c' c' } \new Staff { d'4 d' d' d' } >>
{ \new GrandStaff << \new StaffGroup << \new Staff { \flute } \new Staff { \oboe } >> \new StaffGroup << \new Staff { \violinI } \new Staff { \violinII } >> >> }
Comments are one exception to this general rule. (For others see
File structure.) Both single-line comments and comments
delimited by %{ .. %}
may be placed anywhere within an
input file. They may be placed inside or outside a \score
block, and inside or outside the single music expression within a
\score
block.
