Re: "form" file using \include (or not?)

Please "reply all" to keep your reply on the mailing list.

 

If you simply try this out, you will find that \include-ing a file simply effectively replaces the \include filename with the contents of the file.  So most of the files need have nothing more than the text you want to include.  Go ahead - try it out!

I get how to use \include in a file, at a basic level, but the question is if there's a way to have separate files that contain the music and identifying information, but don't need to have all of the standard parameters that I use on every one of my files, e.g. margins and \midi { }, etc. Can I just stick those all into a file and \include that file? Some of that stuff has to go into different places within the file, no?

Subject: "form" file using \include (or not?)

Is there a way that I can create a template file that I can \include which has a layout and basic parameters which are common between my scores? Alternatively, since I use jEdit, is there something I can append to the compile command that would achieve the same thing? The idea here is that I would be able to create a file which contains the music, that I could e.g. \include (as a part) in a score, but could still compile individually to create a single part.

Is there a common practice to achieve that outcome? Any assistance would be appreciated.
