Re: splitting .ly files into chunks

[David Raleigh Arnold]

Take a look at sly.txt.  This topic is *done*.

Make a copy of your .sly score with howsoever many
bars in it you want and run sly to make the parts,
and you don't have to touch the .ly file.

sly mast8bars masterpiece
ly2dvi masterpiece.ly
xdvi masterpiece.dvi

or

sly mast16bars masterpiece
ly2dvi masterpiece.ly
xdvi masterpiece.dvi

or myscript mast24bars

cat mast16bars.sly >> mast8bars.sly to assemble
the score.  Or do it in the editor.  You don't
mess with the .ly file at all.
