Re: Creating a book of pieces?

[Valentin Petzel]

But why should this pose a problem? Here’s a short demonstration:

\markuplist \table-of-contents
\pageBreak

\bookpart {
  \header {
    title = "Suite I"
  }
  \tocItem \markup "Suite I"
  \score {
    \header {
      piece = "I. Allegro"
    }
    { c }
    \layout { }
  }
  \score {
    \header {
      piece = "II. Allegris"
    }
    { c }
    \layout { }
  }
  \score {
    \header {
      piece = "III. Allegrit"
    }
    { c }
    \layout { }
  }
  \score {
    \header {
      piece = "IV. Allegrimus"
    }
    { c }
    \layout { }
  }
  \score {
    \header {
      piece = "V. Allegritis"
    }
    { c }
    \layout { }
  }
  \score {
    \header {
      piece = "VI. Allegrint"
    }
    { c }
    \layout { }
  }
}
\bookpart {
  \header {
    title = "Suite II"
  }
  \tocItem \markup "Suite II"
  \score {
    \header {
      piece = "I. Allegro"
    }
    { c }
    \layout { }
  }
  \score {
    \header {
      piece = "II. Allegris"
    }
    { c }
    \layout { }
  }
  \score {
    \header {
      piece = "III. Allegrit"
    }
    { c }
    \layout { }
  }
  \score {
    \header {
      piece = "IV. Allegrimus"
    }
    { c }
    \layout { }
  }
  \score {
    \header {
      piece = "V. Allegritis"
    }
    { c }
    \layout { }
  }
  \score {
    \header {
      piece = "VI. Allegrint"
    }
    { c }
    \layout { }
  }
}


Cheers,
Valentin
