constructing a jazz piece

[Stan Mulder-3]

In constructing a small combo piece, I'm not sure how to modularize individual
parts.

For example, notes are specific to a certain instrument whereas a segno
or coda is common to all parts.

I'm confused as to where these things get inserted.

For example, Do I put the coda symbol in each of the trumpet, trombone and
clarinet parts or do I do keep each individual part as simple as possible and
add the coda instructions at a higher level?  

And then when each individual part is printed out the codas and segnos are all
there. I hope that makes sense.

Is there an example somewhere? I'm using "jazz-combo.ly" as a basis for my piece.

What I do is to put road-map stuff (key changes, time changes, repeats,
segnos etc.) in a 'global' block.  Then I combine that with parts for
the individual part scores, and with the top staff in the main score.

Hope this helps.

David,

Is there an example somewhere?

Don't know if there's a simple example in the docs.  What I do looks
something like this:

global = {
        \key c \major
        \time = 4/4
        s1^\markup{\bold "Allegro"}
        s1*8 (you need skips to place your things in the right place)
        % etc.
}

sax = \relative c' {
        %saxophone stuff
}

trombone = \relative c {
        % trombone stuff
}

% The score for the two voices above:

\score {
        \context StaffGroup  <<
                \global
                \context Staff <<
                \sax
                >>
                \new Staff <<
                \trombone
                >>
        >>
}

% Score for a part:

\score {
        \context Staff <<
                \global
                \sax
        >>
}


You can put all sorts of things in the 'global' block like rehearsal
marks, too.

I've been wondering this myself after having typeset around 50 or so
lead sheets with melody, chords and rhythm parts. I've looked at the
documentation, but there doesn't seem to be any easy way to separate the
structure of the music (i.e., voltas, codas, special barlines, etc) from
the music itself (i.e., notes, fingerings, etc.). I vaguely remember
that there was some discussion about doing it in a new version of
lilypond on the list, but I can't remember if it was going to happen in
the current development branch (2.11.x) or not.

Is something like this already in the works? Or is there a good way to
do it now that I've overlooked? :-) As it is now, I have to specify the
structure in all parts (except chords) if I want to be able to print out
separate parts. Needless to say (but here I am saying it anyway :-P) it
makes part entry more cumbersome and error prone when you have to do it
this way.

- -- Shamus

Attached is an example of how I do my lead sheets currently--maybe it'll
spark some ideas for you Stan.

Thanks for that David. I've been doing this to separate out dynamic
markings, but I didn't know you could do the same with voltas and the like.

/me goes off to try it

Stan> David,

Stan> Is there an example somewhere?

The main problem with this approach is that the musical output is
incorrect -- `chording' the global section with the individual parts
makes the output *look* right without acutally *being* right.

Try, e.g.,

global= { \time 4/4 \key es \major \repeat volta 2 {
        s1*2 } }

notes =\relative c' { es4 f es f | es f es f }
\score {
        \unfoldRepeats \context Staff << \global \notes >>
        \midi{}
        \layout{}
}

Wow! Works like a charm! This is not only going to save me lots of time,
but what's left of my sanity. :-) Attached is the final result. Thanks
again, David!

This can certainly be a good practice to separate out annotations or
dynamics and such. This is one aspect of separating musical content
from typesetting layout. However, for the specific case of \repeat
volta, I'm not so certain that it's a good idea to only specify them
separately
from the music. For example, this means that you will not be able to
produce a MIDI file with all repeats played and I seem to recall some
other problems that can also appear if you do not specify the repeats
in the actual music.

i'm happy to find a way to "globalize" rehearsal marks, double bar lines, etc.  can anyone help me figure out why my /global block is creating a new staff below my instrument staves each time?  i get the rehearsal marks above everything, but there's an unwanted blank staff below each staff group with the text markup on it....

these are (hopefully) the pertinent snippets:

      global = {
       \time 5/4
       \set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-box-letters
       \tempo 4=108
      
       s1^"Intro - open" s4 | s1 s4 |

       s4 \mark \default s1 |
       \repeat unfold 7 { s1 s4 } \bar "||"

       s4 \mark \default s1 |
       \repeat unfold 7 { s1 s4 } \bar "||"

       s4 \mark \default s1 |
       \repeat unfold 6 { s1 s4 } \bar "|."
     }

%% and then later on in the score block

     \score {
       <<
         \new StaffGroup = "horns" <<
     \global
       \new ChordNames = "trpchords" \transpose c d {\harmony}
           \new Staff = "trumpet" \trumpet
       \new ChordNames = "tenorchords" \transpose c d {\harmony}
           \new Staff = "tenorsaxone" \tenorsaxone
           \new ChordNames = "chords" \harmony
       \new Staff = "trbn" \trbn
         >>
    
         \new StaffGroup = "rhythm" <<
     \global
           \new ChordNames = "chords" \harmony
           \new PianoStaff = "piano" \piano
         >>
       >>
}

Your code adds the \global in its own (implicit) Staff:

>          \new StaffGroup = "horns" <<
>      \global
>        \new ChordNames = "trpchords" \transpose c d {\harmony}

is the same as

>          \new StaffGroup = "horns" <<
>      \new Staff \global
>        \new ChordNames = "trpchords" \transpose c d {\harmony}

You need to COMBINE the global stuff with some other staff's music --  
see the trumpet staff in the attached (modified) code.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
