Perhaps you'd like a four part vocal piece written on four separate staffs,
as well as a piano reduction on two staffs with two voices.
This could be done using:
score staffs=6 bracket=1-4 brace=5-6 staff 3 clef=treble8 staff 4 clef=bass staff 5 vscheme=2o staffscale=0.75 // make piano staffs a little smaller staff 6 clef=bass vscheme=2o staffscale=0.75 // Define macros to put each voice on its own staff // plus the appropriate staff/voice of the piano staffs. define S 1 1 & 5 1: @ // soprano define A 2 1 & 5 2: @ // alto define T 3 1 & 6 1: @ // tenor define B 4 1 & 6 2: @ // bass music S 2c+;; A 2f;e; T 2a;g; B 2c;; bar
This can also be done using
chord-at-a-time input style:
// Define a macro to put each voice on its own staff
// plus the appropriate staff/voice of the piano staffs.
// This example assumes inputting notes from bottom to top.
define M [ 4 1 & 6 2; \
3 1 & 6 1; \
2 1 & 5 2; \
1 1 & 5 1 ] : @
