I’m engraving a marching band score. The pitched instruments were fun.
Percussion is giving me a headache, though.
Each drum has its own part, e.g.:
% bass.ily
\version "2.18.2"
bassMusic = \drummode {
bd4 \f r bd r |
}
% bass.ly
\version "2.18.2"
\include "bass.ily"
\score {
\new RhythmicStaff = "bass" {
\bassMusic
}
% snare.ily
\version "2.18.2"
snareMusic = \drummode {
r4 sn \f r r |
}
% snare.ly
\version "2.18.2"
\include "snare.ily"
\score {
\new RhythmicStaff = "snare" {
\snareMusic
}
In the whole-band score, I’d like something that comes out like:
% score.ly
\version "2.18.2"
\score {
\new DrumStaff = "percussion" {
bd4 sn bd r |
}
}
If I try just parallel parts like this:
% score.ly
\version "2.18.2"
\include "bass.ily"
\include "snare.ily"
\score {
\new DrumStaff = "percussion" <<
\bassMusic
\snareMusic
>>
}
... I get rests scattered all over the place, not to mention redundant
dynamics. Is there a way to combine the different drum parts on one
staff without engraving a terrible mess?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
