Re: Information about Parts

[address@hidden]

Very briefly;

I think of it as building scores rather than extracting parts.  I keep my music 
definitions for all the parts in one file and then make scores, which may only 
consist of a single part.  I use an '\include' to call make the definitions 
available.  maybe this will help:

Subject: Information about Parts

Hello, I just joined this list because I was searching unsuccessfully for 
information about Lilypond's features for extracting and producing individual 
parts from a score. Does Lilypond have features akin to Finale's linked-parts? 

I suspect my searching was unsuccessful since the work "part" is used so 
frequently in the english language. Any urls to point me in the right direction 
would be great. 

Background: composer using Finale since the early 1990's. In the past several 
years I have learned some code, C#, C++, SQL, tiny bits of bash. I don't know 
Python yet but it's on my to-do list. 

The idea of controlling music notation with the precision of an interpreted 
text language is highly appealing and I plan to learn Lilypond soon (unless it 
has, like, zero support for creating parts). 

Thank you! 
Matt
