RE: Inputting music in parts

[John Schlomann]

Paulo,
It seems like what you have is the right approach. How much simpler could it
be? AFAIK \alternative is only useful with \repeat volta. Of course, you'd
leave off the backslashes when defining the variables.

Subject: Inputting music in parts

Hi,

I have some music I want to transcribe that has 2 parts: A and B the
music goes:
part A
part B
part A with special ending

I could of course define variables like:
\partA =
\partAtransition =
\partAending =
\partB =

and then write the music as
\partA
\partAtransition
\partB
\partA
\partAending

However, I would like to simplify the final score. What's the best way
to write this? I saw repeats but that doesn't seem to be exactly what I
need.

However the partA with different endings sound like it could be where I
could use \alternative, but unsure how to put it all together. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
