Node:An orchestral score, Next:Integrating text and music, Previous:Fine tuning a piece, Up:Tutorial An orchestral scoreOur next two examples demonstrate one way to create an orchestral score in LilyPond. When typesetting a piece for several instruments, you'll want to create a full score (for the conductor) along with several individual parts (for the players). LilyPond is well suited for this task. We will declare the music for
each instrument individually, giving the music of each instrument its
own name. These pieces of music are then combined in different
This orchestral score example consists of three input files. In the
first file, % os-music.ly \header { title = "Zo, goed lieverd?" subtitle = "How's, this babe?" composer = "JCN" opus = "1" piece = "Laid back" } global = { \time 2/4 \skip 2*4 \bar "|." } Key = \notes \key as \major flautoI = \notes\relative c'' { f8 g f g f g f g bes as bes as bes as bes as } flautoII = \notes\relative c'' { as8 bes as bes R1 d4 ~ d } tromboI = \notes\relative c'' { c4. c8 c8 c4. es4 r as, r } tromboII = \notes\relative c'' { as4. as8 as8 as4. R1*1/2 as4 es' } timpani = \notes\relative c, { \times 2/3 { f4 f f } \times 4/5 { as8 as as as as } R1 } corno = \notes\relative c' { bes4 d f, bes d f, bes d } We will not examine this example line by line, since you already know most of it. We'll examine a few lines which contain new elements. global = { \time 2/4 \skip 2*4 \bar "|." } Declare setting to be used globally. The Key = \notes \key as \majorDeclare the key signature of the piece and assign it to the identifier Key. Later on we'll use \Key for all staves except those
for transposing instruments.
