Re: merging different voices

[Federico Camara Halac]

Hi Urs, 

Do you mean you have four scores that have some kind of similar

"outline" or formal structure and you want to process them along the

lines of (to mention just one example) "I want a sound at this 16th note

if there is a sound in all four scores at that point" or similar kinds

of operations?

YES, hese are certainly the kind of operations that I want to work with. 

It *may* be that all you need

is one complicated Scheme function - and then there are good chances

that someone finds the challenge interesting and helps you on this list.

Wow, thanks, I will have a look at the Scheme function and maybe I can come up with further questions about this!

thanks so much, Urs!

Hi Jeffery, thanks for you response!

it is unclear what exactly you want. Can
you provide a small snippet of code
(http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html) or a (small size) image or
anything else to maybe illustrate what you want?

I attached the first 4 bars of one instrument “flute_one”. I don’t want something very musically orthodox here... I need to generate musical material for composition by combining/merging different scores.

I am guessing that would
require quite a hefty procedure, though it certainly is possible (also
already said by Urs).

This hefty procedure is what I am after, and that’s why I asked the list if there is already a similar one out there. 

I remember doing something akin to ‘adding' in a -commercial- software: copying and pasting into different voices of a staff and then combining everything to one single voice and cleaning after…. Having this in mind, I included “flute_one_part_zero” and “flute_one_part_one” into one staff (separate voices) and tried \partcombine on them… the result, however, is still hard to clean because the merging happens within lily and I cannot access it directly. This is why I think what I want is to merge the actual text file of the score with another into a 3rd one before compiling.

Just to echo what Urs wrote, 

Btw, I cant see Urs’ response.

Thanks again!
