Re: vars and multiple scores

[David Bowen]

Klaus,

   Have you considered the possibility of making each song its own file and then using lylualatex to build the songbook. I'm using that workflow to create a collection of barbershop tags, where the tags run about two or three lines. I have a lilypond template for tags that defines standard names for note and lyric variables and having one tag per file eliminates conflicts between tags. Using lylualatex makes it easy to generate indexes and also to rearrange tags if I need to move things around to improve the spacing on a page.

Hi Folks,

I read the documentation of lilypond and it recommend to define the
notes in variables and use them afterwards.

But how is that with multiple scores for setting multiple songs in one
file/book? I cannot set the vars inside the score, they have to be
global. But then it is painful to have such a pollution of the global
namespace.

What is a better way to do so?

Another think is about transposing. In the example I had before I have
the cords "a:m g a:m g c g d:m a" But with a->e, the d:m gets
transposed to a:m but the song only works with a c here.

I do not know transposing very well, so, is that just a wrong chord in
the original or is there any trick to get the c from the d:m? If I look
at the Circle of fifths, I just think, the first assumption is right.

Regards
