@node Built-in templates
@appendixsec Built-in templates

A template, suitable for a range of choral music, is built into
LilyPond.  This may be used to create simple choral music, with or
without piano accompaniment, in two or four staves.  Unlike other
templates, this template is @q{built-in}, which means it does not
need to be copied and edited:  instead it is simply 
@code{\include}'d in the input file.

@warning {Unlike most included files, this built-in template must be
@code{\include}'d at the @emph{end} of the input file.}

The required music expressions are entered by defining values for
specific variables.  These definition must come before the
@code{\include}'d file.

The music may be set out with one or two voices per staff by setting
@code{TwoVoicesPerStaff} to @code{##f} or @code{##t} respectively.

Here's the complete input file for producing a full four-part SATB
arrangement with individual lyrics and piano accompaniment:

@lilypond[verbatim, quote]
  SopranoMusic = \relative { a'4\f a8 a a4 a }
  SopranoLyrics = \lyricmode { Sop -- ra -- no ly -- rics }
  AltoMusic = \relative { d'4\f d d d }
  AltoLyrics = \lyricmode { Al -- to ly -- rics }
  TenorMusic = \relative { a4\p a a a }
  TenorLyrics = \lyricmode { Te -- nor ly -- rics }
  BassMusic = \relative { c2\p c4 c }
  BassLyrics = \lyricmode { Bass ly -- rics }
  PianoRHMusic = \relative { c' e g c }
  PianoDynamics = { s2\mp s4 s4 }
  PianoLHMusic = \relative { c e g c }
  \include "satb.ly"
@end lilypond

The same input can be used to produce a score with two voices
per staff just by setting @code{TwoVoicesPerStaff} to @code{##t}.
Again, each voice has individual lyrics.


@lilypond[verbatim, quote]
  SopranoMusic = \relative { a'4\f a8 a a4 a }
  SopranoLyrics = \lyricmode { Sop -- ra -- no ly -- rics }
  AltoMusic = \relative { d'4\f d d d }
  AltoLyrics = \lyricmode { Al -- to ly -- rics }
  TenorMusic = \relative { a4\p a a a }
  TenorLyrics = \lyricmode { Te -- nor ly -- rics }
  BassMusic = \relative { c2\p c4 c }
  BassLyrics = \lyricmode { Bass ly -- rics }
  PianoRHMusic = \relative { c' e g c }
  PianoDynamics = { s2\mp s4 s4 }
  PianoLHMusic = \relative { c e g c }
  TwoVoicesPerStaff = ##t
  \include "satb.ly"
@end lilypond

When @code{TwoVoicesPerStaff} is set to false or allowed to default,
any of the music variables may be omitted to produce arrangements
with fewer voices.  Here, for example, is how the input file for a
Soprano/Bass duet might be written:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
  SopranoMusic = \relative { c'' c c c }
  SopranoLyrics = \lyricmode { High voice ly -- rics }
  BassMusic = \relative { a a a a }
  BassLyrics = \lyricmode { Low voice ly -- rics }
  \include "satb.ly"
@end lilypond

A second verse or alternative lyrics may be added to each of the
parts:

@lilypond[verbatim, quote]
  SopranoMusic = \relative { a'4 a a a }
  SopranoLyricsOne = \lyricmode {
    \set stanza = "1."
    Words to verse one
  }
  SopranoLyricsTwo = \lyricmode {
    \set stanza = "2."
    Words to verse two
  }
  \include "satb.ly"
@end lilypond

When the lyrics and rhythms are the same for every part, the vocal
music is best arranged on two staves with two voices in each.  Up to
nine verses may be provided.  Here's an unaccompanied example with
just three verses.

@lilypond[verbatim, quote]
  SopranoMusic = \relative { a' a a a }
  AltoMusic = \relative { f' f f f }
  VerseOne = \lyricmode {
    \set stanza = "1."
    Words to verse one
  }
  VerseTwo = \lyricmode {
    \set stanza = "2."
    Words to verse two
  }
  VerseThree = \lyricmode {
    \set stanza = "3."
    Words to verse three
  }
  TenorMusic = \relative { a a a a }
  BassMusic = \relative { f f f f }
  TwoVoicesPerStaff = ##t
  \include "satb.ly"
@end lilypond

Other variables may be given values.  The key signature and
the time signature may be changed from the default:

@lilypond[verbatim, quote]
  Key = \key a \major
  Time = {
    \time 5/4
    \tempo "Allegro" 4 = 144
  }
  SopranoMusic = \relative { gis' gis gis gis gis }
  AltoMusic = \relative { cis' cis cis cis cis }
  VerseOne = \lyricmode { Words to this du -- et }
  TwoVoicesPerStaff = ##t
  \include "satb.ly"
@end lilypond

The instrument names and/or the short instrument names may be
changed:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
  SopranoMusic = \relative { c'' c c c }
  SopranoLyrics = \lyricmode { High voice ly -- rics }
  SopranoInstrumentName = "Soprano 1"
  SopranoShortInstrumentName = "S1"
  AltoMusic = \relative { a' a a a }
  AltoLyrics = \lyricmode { Low voice ly -- rics }
  AltoInstrumentName = "Soprano 2"
  AltoShortInstrumentName = "S2"
  \include "satb.ly"
@end lilypond

A descant may be added by defining values for the variable
@code{DescantMusic} and descant lyrics may be provided by defining
values for @code{DescantLyrics}.  In a similar way a solo part may be
added above the grouped choir staves by defining values for
@code{SoloMusic} and @code{SoloLyrics}.

@code{\header} and @code{\paper} blocks may be added as normal.
A @code{\layout} block may be provided as the value of the
@code{Layout} variable:

@example
Layout = \layout @{ ... @}
@end example

The complete set of variables which may be changed can be seen by
examining the file @file{ly/satb.ly}.

More complex arrangements of SATB choral music are not possible with
these simple built-in templates.

used in the Mutopia project; they don't affect the printed output at
all.  They are used if you want the piece to be listed with different
information in the Mutopia database than you wish to have printed on the
music.  For example, Mutopia lists the composer of the famous D major
violin concerto as TchaikovskyPI, whereas perhaps you wish to print
"Petr Tchaikowski" on your music.
