\killCues vs. redefining \cueDuring

[Werner LEMBERG]

There are two solutions to suppress cue notes in a full score.


Let's assume that file foo.ily defines a `foo' music macro:

  foo = \relative c' {
    ...
    \queDuring ...
    ...
  }

The same for all other parts.

. Solution 1: Redefine `cueDuring' to do nothing before inclusion of
              the parts.

    cueDuring = #(define-music-function
                  (parser location what dir main-music)
                  (string? ly:dir? ly:music?)
                  main-music)

    \include "foo.ily"
    \include "bar.ily"
    ...

    <<
      ...
      \new Staff \foo
      ...
      \new Staff \bar
      ...
    >>

. Solution 2: Do not redefine `cueDuring' but use \killCues.

    \include "foo.ily"
    \include "bar.ily"
    ...

    <<
      ...
      \new Staff { \killCues \foo }
      ...
      \new Staff { \killCues \bar }
      ...
    >>


I wonder whether solution 1 (which I prefer since it is less typing)
is really equivalent to solution 2, or whether there are drawbacks
I've missed.
