* Naming conventions for voices/staves (think: \autochange, \partcombine)? * Add (commented-out) stuff like \time 3/4 \property Staff.TimeSignature \set #'style = #xxx? * Handy emacs shortcuts to (these) templates? * Mutopia headers? * Another approach would be to not include any music in the templates, and standardise the naming of the music, so that you'd do: title = 'Piano piece' upper = \notes { ... } lower = \notes { ... } \include "template/piano.ly" In this case, we'd also need one simple music example file per template. This approach can be even easier to use, but is not very flexible, it only works for simple and uniform pieces. * Possibly some of you already have created something like this? I was thinking of having templates for: single melody = melody.ly melody with lyrics = melody-lyrics.ly melody with lyrics and chords = melody-lyrics-chords.ly piano = piano.ly piano with several voices = piano-4-voices.ly piano with lyrics (between staves) = piano-lyrics.ly piano with melody and lyrics = piano-melody-lyrics.ly TODO (Choral templates, anyone?) piano with lyrics and chords (string) duet (string) duet parts string quartet string quintet parts orchestral score orchestral parts choral score with piano reduction (i.e., the piano staves have the same notes as the choral parts) choral score with piano accompaniment choral parts
