Score numbering

[w***@niif.hu]

Hi,

I'm creating a songbook using Lilypond the direct way, not via
lilypond-book, but entering several \score and \markup sections.
Is there an easy way to get automatic numbering of the scores in the
output? I actually create each song by calling two Scheme functions to
factor out as much formatting as possible, so it's certainly possible to
include incrementing numbering there, but I'd like to check if there's a
built-in facility beforehand. I'll go for automatic numbering of
additional verses (markups) then...

Try to have a look to the following example:

**************************************
\version "2.19.82"
#(define nextcount
(let ((counter 0))
(add-score #{ \score { {c} \midi{}} #} )
(lambda ()
(set! counter (1+ counter))
(number->string counter))))

mymusic = {
a b c' d'
}
\score {
\new Staff \with {instrumentName=\markup \circle #(nextcount)} \new Voice
\mymusic
\layout{}
}

mymusic = {
c' d' e' f'
}
\score {
\new Staff \with {instrumentName=\markup \circle #(nextcount)} \new Voice
\mymusic
\layout{}
}
************************************

Best regards, g.

Hi Gianmaria,
I don't understand what (add-score #{ \score { {c} \midi{}} #} ) stands
for (copy/paste typo?)
Cheers,
Pierre

You're right Pierre. Copy and paste the following code that it's almost
the same except for the \midi{}.

\version "2.19.82"
#(define nextcount
(let ((counter 0))
(add-score #{ \score { {c} \midi{}} #} )
(lambda ()
(set! counter (1+ counter))
(number->string counter))))

mymusic = {
a b c' d'
}
\score {
\new Staff \with {instrumentName=\markup \circle #(nextcount)} \new Voice
\mymusic
\layout{}
\midi{}
}

mymusic = {
c' d' e' f'
}
\score {
\new Staff \with {instrumentName=\markup \circle #(nextcount)} \new Voice
\mymusic
\layout{}
\midi{}
}

This code will engrave a single document with two scores, numbered 1 and 2
and generate 3 (three) midi files with the following name:

- document.mid - an empty-like midi file with name
- document-1.mid
- document-2.mid

The reason is that in this way the midi file document-1.mid contains the
audio for the score 1 etc.
If I don't generate the empty like midi file the document.mid would contain
the audio file for the score 1 and the document-1.mid would contain the
audio file for the score 2.

I hope I have been enough clear.
Ciao, g.
