Hi Werner,

Here’s the fundamental problem:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.23.14"
global = {
%% v1
\key c \major
s1*4
\bar "||"
%% v2
\key d \major
s1*4
\bar "|."
}
%% NOTE:
%% All instrument music is written in absolute mode and concert pitch.
flute = {
%% v1
e''4 d'' c'' d''
e''4 4 2
d''4 4 2
e''4 g''4 2
%% v2
R1*4
}
\addQuote "flute" \flute
altosax = {
%% v1
R1*4
%% v2
fis''4 e'' d'' e''
fis''4 4 2
e''4 4 2
fis''4 a''4 2
}
\addQuote "altosax" \altosax
%% WIND PLAYER’S COMBINED MUSIC
%% yes, I know they can’t switch instruments this fast... ;)
windplayer = {
%% v1
<>^\markup "Flute"
\quoteDuring "flute" { s1*4 }
%% v2
<>^\markup "Alto Sax"
\quoteDuring "altosax" { s1*4 }
}
%% SCORE (CONCERT PITCH)
%% This is easy: just use the stitched “quoted” parts.
\score {
\new Staff = "wind doubler" \new Voice << \global \windplayer >>
}
%% PART (TRANSPOSED)
%% What’s the least amount of work required
%% to make this transposed part, with correct key signature?
\score {
\new Staff = "wind doubler" \new Voice << \global \windplayer >>
}
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
What I currently do is break the global up into separate variables and stitch
them together with the instruments, transposing them as required by the
instrument/player. What I want is to be able to have a single global (with all
key changes intact), build multi-instrumentalist music on top of that, and
output C and transposed scores without a lot of extra fuss.
I’d love to find the best practice here — adding functionality or sugar, if
necessary — and put out a quick tutorial for anyone else who struggles with
this kind of engraving.
Thanks!
Kieren.
