Re: Several parts to one piece?

[Phil Holmes]

Michael,

 

First of all, please reply-all to keep responses on the mailing list.  That way others may benefit and more experienced users can chime in with help if necessary.

 

My response to your request is going to seem harsh.  You could not have tried very hard, since I asked you to look at the errors at 12:27 and you said you couldn't fix them less than 5 minutes later.  It's really best to try to learn how the program works by working through and fixing the errors rather than getting others to do it for you.

 

The log file I get has this contents:

 

GNU LilyPond 2.13.46
Processing `Directory/02_licstich_02_kiev.ly'
Parsing...
Directory/02_licstich_02_kiev.ly:97:0: error: unknown escaped string: `\verseTwo'

  \new ChoirStaff <<
Directory/02_licstich_02_kiev.ly:169:0: error: syntax error, unexpected '}'

 

}error: failed files: "Directory\\02_licstich_02_kiev.ly"

 

Program finished

Let's look at the first - "97:0: error: unknown escaped string: `\verseTwo'"

 

So on line 97 we have an error of that unknown string.  Let's look at line 97:

 

\verseTwo =\lyricmode {

Compare it to the line above it:

 

verseOne = \lyricmode {

See a difference?  Please work through the log file and correct the errors in this manner, and see where you get.

Phil,

I want to say that this fixes the naming errors, but it still does not compile; so I am obviusly overlooking some.

Michael,

 

It looks like you're going in the right direction by using 2 \score blocks.  However, it would be helpful if you could post a score that compiles.  Please could you correct the naming errors in this one?

Subject: Several parts to one piece?

Sorry to be barraging the list; but I have several pieces) that consist of several parts, and I need to compile them as a whole piece, but have each part end and begin separately. How, can I accomplish this?
