I am intrigued. How does one use the tag system for concatenating sections
of the same piece for easy working and compiling speed during edit phase?
Please, can you provide some code showing how to use tags like this I have
only seen tags used for differences in music of the score for parts and so
on.
Tags for combining sections?!
So, here is the basic approach.
You need to divide up the entire piece in to secions, each enclosed in a tag.
These tags need to be in a few places, basically any music or structural
things. In this example, this includes global info, and then two instruments.
Besides the tagged sections, we'll have tags for PDF vs MIDI, and Score vs Part.
\version "2.18.2"
global = {
\key d \major
\tempo "Allegro"
\tag SegmentA {
\time 3/4
\mark "A"
s2.*8
\bar "||"
% Here is something that will only be in the score, and not the parts
\tag #'Score { \pageBreak }
}
\tag SegmentB {
\time 4/4
\mark "B"
s1*8
\bar "|."
}
}
violin = {
\tag SegmentA \relative c'' {
% Here we have different content for PDF vs MIDI
\tag #'PDF {
d2.\startTrillSpan d\stopTrillSpan
}
\tag #'MIDI {
d16 e d e d e d e d e d e
d2.
}
d2. d d d d d
}
\tag SegmentB \relative c'' {
e1 e e e e e e e
}
}
bassoon = {
\tag SegmentA {
R2.*8
}
\tag SegmentB {
c1 d e f
% Here we have content that is only for the part, not the score
\tag #'Part { \break }
g a b c
}
}
% The Visual Score
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "Full-Score"
\score {
\header {
piece = "Full Score, with score-only page break"
}
\keepWithTag #'(PDF Score
SegmentA
SegmentB
) <<
\new Staff <<
\global
\violin
>>
\new Staff <<
\clef bass
\bassoon
>>
>>
\layout {}
}
}
% The Audio Score
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "Full-Score"
\score {
\header {
piece = "MIDI score, with written-out trill"
}
\keepWithTag #'(MIDI Score
SegmentA
SegmentB
) <<
\new Staff <<
\global
\violin
>>
\new Staff \bassoon
>>
\midi {}
}
}
% The parts
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "Violin"
\score {
\header {
piece = "Violin Part, with normal trill and no page break"
}
\keepWithTag #'(PDF Part
SegmentA
SegmentB
) \new Staff <<
\global
\violin
>>
\layout {}
}
}
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "Bassoon"
\score {
\header {
piece = "Bassoon Part, with part-only line break"
}
\keepWithTag #'(PDF Part
SegmentA
SegmentB
) \new Staff <<
\global
\clef bass
\bassoon
>>
\layout {}
}
}
%{
The main point here is that you can limit what is compiled by commenting out
all the other section tags. Here, we only compile segment B, by commenting
out SegmentA.
%}
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "Full-Score-Segment-B"
\score {
\header {
piece = "Full Score, but only section B"
}
%{
There are newer syntaxes available for specifying the list of tags,
but I suggeset using this old syntax since it supports this approach
of commenting out individual lines.
%}
\keepWithTag #'(PDF Score
%SegmentA
SegmentB
) <<
\new Staff <<
\global
\violin
>>
\new Staff <<
\clef bass
\bassoon
>>
>>
\layout {}
}
}
