Re: \parallelMusic and PianoStaff, again

[Mats Bengtsson]

Just keep repeating bar after bar, without any extra curly braces.
Also, I had forgot to include \voiceOne / \voiceTwo and so on
(below, I did this implicitly using the <<{...} \\ {...} >> feature).
Here comes a modified version of your example.

\version "2.10.0"
\include "english.ly"

Music = {
      \key c \major

      \time 4/4
       \parallelMusic #'(voiceA voiceB voiceC voiceD) {
% Bar 1
       r8    g'16[ c''] e''[ g' c'' e''] r8    g'16[ c''] e''[ g' c''
e''] |
       c'2                               c'2 |
       r8    a16[ d'] f'[ a d' f'] r8    a16[ d'] f'[ a d' f'] |
       c2                                c2 |

% Bar 2
       a'8 b'         c'' d''            e'' f''            g'' a''' |
       d'4              d'                d'                d' |
       c'16 d' e' f'    d' e' f' g'       e' f' g' a'       f' g' a' b' |
       a4               a4                a4                a4 |
% Bar 3 ...
}
}

\score {
 \new PianoStaff<<
   \Music
   \new Staff << \voiceA \\ \voiceB >>
   \new Staff {
     \clef bass
     << \voiceC \\ \voiceD >>
   }
 >>
}
