Now we want to add a cello part. Let’s look at the ‘Notes only’ example:
\version "2.17.21"
melody = \relative c' {
\clef "treble"
\key c \major
\time 4/4
a4 b c d
}
\score {
\new Staff \melody
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
We don’t need two \version commands. We’ll need the melody section. We don’t want two
\score sections – if we had two \scores, we’d get the two parts separately. We want them
together, as a duet. Within the \score section, we don’t need two \layout or \midi.
If we simply cut and paste the melody section, we would end up with two melody definitions.
This would not generate an error, but the second one would be used for both melodies. So let’s
rename them to make them distinct. We’ll call the section for the soprano sopranoMusic and the
section for the cello celloMusic. While we’re doing this, let’s rename text to be sopranoLyrics.
Remember to rename both instances of all these names – both the initial definition (the melody
= \relative c' { part) and the name’s use (in the \score section).
While we’re doing this, let’s change the cello part’s staff – celli normally use bass clef. We’ll
also give the cello some different notes.
\version "2.17.21"
sopranoMusic = \relative c' {
\clef "treble"
\key c \major
\time 4/4
