Re: aligning variables with upbeats

[智樂喬]

Hope that helps!

Yes, it does. I have no idea what the edition-engraver is, but I'm curious to read more about it when I have time.

Thanks!

This is one of the few situations where I would whole-heartedly recommend using Lilypond’s \tag mechanism. (Most things that might seem to be good candidates for \tags are, in my opinion, better handled via the edition-engraver.) This is exactly how I keep different versions of songs from my musicals (e.g., show version, medley version, standalone version, etc.).

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS  %%%
partA = {
  c'2 b |
  \tag #'full { R1*3 }
  \tag #'short { R1*2 r2 r4 }
}

partB = {
  \partial 4 g4 | \bar "||"  c'1
}

\score {
  { \keepWithTag #'full \partA }
}

\score {
  { \keepWithTag #'short \partA \partB }
}
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS  %%%

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
