Re: Suggestion for Frescobaldi: engrave parent

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Urs,

I have been needing this just forever, and never knew about either of these techniques. I am indebted to you for pointing these facts out. I always wondered what 'Always Engrave' meant and could never figure it out. Thanks!

somehow I have the feeling you're missing two available options.

a)
Frescobaldi has the concept of *master* variables. With these you can specify in an input file which file should be compiled instead. You can find the documentation in Frescobaldi's help at Frescobaldi Manual -> Editing Files -> Document Variables.

From your post it sounds like this is what you need. But if you're talking about the Kayser project you actually need

b)
You can pin one of the documents to be compiled. You can either check LilyPond->Always Engrave (if the document is the currently active one) or you can right-click on a document tab to check the same option.
