A.3.1 String quartet
This template demonstrates a simple string quartet. It also uses a
\global section for time and key signatures
global= {
\time 4/4
\key c \major
}
violinOne = \new Voice \relative c'' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Violin 1 "
c2 d
e1
\bar "|."
}
violinTwo = \new Voice \relative c'' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Violin 2 "
g2 f
e1
\bar "|."
}
viola = \new Voice \relative c' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Viola "
\clef alto
e2 d
c1
\bar "|."
}
cello = \new Voice \relative c' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Cello "
\clef bass
c2 b
a1
\bar "|."
}
\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff << \global \violinOne >>
\new Staff << \global \violinTwo >>
\new Staff << \global \viola >>
\new Staff << \global \cello >>
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }

A.3.2 String quartet parts
The “String quartet template” snippet produces a nice string
quartet, but what if you needed to print parts? This new template
demonstrates how to use the \tag feature to easily split a
piece into individual parts.
You need to split this template into separate files; the filenames are
contained in comments at the beginning of each file. piece.ly
contains all the music definitions. The other files – score.ly,
vn1.ly, vn2.ly, vla.ly, and vlc.ly –
produce the appropriate part.
Do not forget to remove specified comments when using separate files!
