3.1.1 Structure of a score
A \score block must contain a single music expression
delimited by curly brackets:
\score {
...
}
|
Note: There must be only one outer music expression in
a |
This single music expression may be of any size, and may contain other music expressions to any complexity. All of these examples are music expressions:
{ c'4 c' c' c' }
{
{ c'4 c' c' c'}
{ d'4 d' d' d'}
}
<<
\new Staff { c'4 c' c' c' }
\new Staff { d'4 d' d' d' }
>>
{
\new GrandStaff <<
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff { \flute }
\new Staff { \oboe }
>>
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff { \violinI }
\new Staff { \violinII }
>>
>>
}
Comments are one exception to this general rule. (For others see
File structure.) Both single-line comments and comments
delimited by %{ .. %} may be placed anywhere within an
input file. They may be placed inside or outside a \score
block, and inside or outside the single music expression within a
\score block.
