With quotations, fragments of other parts can be inserted into a part
directly. Before a part can be quoted, it must be marked especially as
quotable. This is done with code \addquote
command. The
quotation may then be done with \quote
\addquote name music \quote name duration
Here, name is an identifying string. The music is any kind
of music. This is an example of \addquote
\addquote clarinet \notes\relative c' { f4 fis g gis }
During a part, a piece of music can be quoted with the \quote
command.
\quote clarinet 2.
This would cite 3 quarter notes (a dotted half note) of the previously added clarinet voice.
Quotations take into account the transposition both source and target
instruments, if they are specified using the \transposition
command.
\addquote clarinet \notes\relative c' { \transposition bes f4 fis g gis } \score { \notes { e'8 f'8 \quote clarinet 2 } }
Only the contents of the first Voice occurring in an
\addquote
command will be considered for quotation, so
music can not contain \new
and \context Voice
statements that would switch to a different Voice.
