Re: Time signatures for all parts

[Christian]

Hi Erika!

This is pretty easily accomplished. Just put the time signature changes in a seperate variable, eg.:

changes = {

\time 4/4

s1*15

\time 3/4

s2.*14

\time 2/4

s2*10

}

trombone = \relative {

%notes

}

\new Staff {

<<

\changes

\trombone

>>

You can also put rehearsal marks and special bar lines there to have them consistent across all parts. When doing the score you then only need to use the \changes-variable with one instrument and it will work on all.

Bonus: bar checks work too!

All the best

I'm writing an orchestra piece with a lot of time signature changes. I was wondering if there is a way to put all the time signature changes into one place, and use that in all parts? For example, if I want to later change a 6/4 to 3/2, I would only need to change it in one place and not for all parts separately.

(I know that for writing a score I only need the time signature changes in one part, but if I leave the time signatures out of other parts, I'll run into problems when I try to get the separate parts out.)

Thank you,
