The <code>\cueDuring</code> command is a more specialized form of <code>\quoteDuring</code>, being particularly useful for inserting cue notes into a part. The syntax is as follows: <pre class="example"> \cueDuring #<var>partname</var> #<var>voice</var> <var>music</var> </pre> <p>This command copies the corresponding measures from <var>partname</var> into a <code>CueVoice</code> context. The <code>CueVoice</code> is created implicitly, and occurs simultaneously with <var>music</var>, which creates a polyphonic situation. The <var>voice</var> argument determines whether the cue notes should be notated as a first or second voice; <code>DOWN</code> corresponds to the first voice, and <code>UP</code> corresponds to the second. <blockquote> <pre class="verbatim"> oboe = \relative c'' { r2 r8 d16 f e g f a g8 g16 g g2. } \addQuote "oboe" { \oboe } \new Voice \relative c'' { \cueDuring #"oboe" #UP { R1 } g2 c, } </pre> <p> <a href="../17/lily-e6fb69b9.ly"> <img align="middle" border="0" src="../17/lily-e6fb69b9.png" alt="[image of music]"> </a> </p> </blockquote> <p>In the above example, the <code>Voice</code> context had to be explicitly declared, or else the entire music expression would belong to the <code>CueVoice</code> context. <p>The name of the cued instrument can be printed by setting the <code>instrumentCueName</code> property. <blockquote> <pre class="verbatim"> oboe = \relative c''' { g4 r8 e16 f e4 d } \addQuote oboe { \oboe } \new Staff \relative c'' << \new CueVoice \with { instrumentCueName = "ob." } \new Voice { \cueDuring #"oboe" #UP { R1 } g4. b8 d2 } >> </pre> <p> <a href="../87/lily-cadeb6c0.ly"> <img align="middle" border="0" src="../87/lily-cadeb6c0.png" alt="[image of music]"> </a> </p> </blockquote> <p>The <code>\killCues</code> command is used to remove the cue notes from a music expression. <blockquote> <pre class="verbatim"> flute = \relative c''' { r2 cis2 r2 dis2 } \addQuote flute { \flute } \new Voice \relative c'' { \killCues { \cueDuring #"flute" #UP { R1 } g4. b8 d2 } } </pre> <p> <a href="../0d/lily-122cbec1.ly"> <img align="middle" border="0" src="../0d/lily-122cbec1.png" alt="[image of music]"> </a> </p> </blockquote> <p>When typesetting cue notes, some guidelines should be followed: <ul> <li>The instrument playing the cue should be clearly marked on the score. <li>When the cue notes end, the name of the original instrument should be indicated. <li>Any other changes introduced by the cued part should also be undone. For example, if the cued instrument plays in a different clef, the original clef should be stated once again. </ul> <!-- FIXME explain syntax of \transposedCueDuring --> <p>The <code>\transposedCueDuring</code> command is useful to add cues for instruments in a completely different register. Having piccolo cues within a contrabassoon part is a good example. <blockquote> <pre class="verbatim"> piccolo = \relative c''' { \clef "treble^8" R1 c8 c c e g2 a4 g g2 } \addQuote "piccolo" { \piccolo } cbassoon = \relative c, { \clef "bass_8" c4 r g r \transposedCueDuring #"piccolo" #UP c,, { R1 } c4 r g r } << \new Staff = "piccolo" \piccolo \new Staff = "cbassoon" \cbassoon >> </pre> <p> <a href="../dd/lily-1a23f8e3.ly"> <img align="middle" border="0" src="../dd/lily-1a23f8e3.png" alt="[image of music]"> </a> </p> </blockquote> <p class="noindent"> <h5 class="subsubheading">See also</h5> <p class="indent"> <p>Snippets: <a href="../../../input/lsr/lilypond-snippets/Staff-notation.html#Staff-notation">Staff notation</a>. <p>Internals Reference: <a name="index-CueVoice-1470"></a><a href="../lilypond-internals/CueVoice.html#CueVoice">CueVoice</a>, <a name="index-Voice-1471"></a><a href="../lilypond-internals/Voice.html#Voice">Voice</a>. <p class="noindent"> <h5 class="subsubheading">Known issues and warnings</h5> <p>Collisions are not checked between <code>Voice</code> and <code>CueVoice</code> contexts. <!-- *- coding: utf-8; mode: texinfo; -*- --> <!-- \version "2.11.51" --> <!-- footer_tag --><br><hr> <div class="node"> <p> Previous: <a rel="previous" accesskey="p" href="Quoting-other-voices.html#Quoting-other-voices">Quoting other voices</a>, Up: <a rel="up" accesskey="u" href="Writing-parts.html#Writing-parts">Writing parts</a> </div> <div style="background-color: #e8ffe8; padding: 2; border: #c0ffc0 1px solid;"> <p> <font size="-1"> This page is for LilyPond-2.11.57 (development-branch). <br> <address> Report errors to <a href="http://post.gmane.org/post.php?group=gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs">http://post.gmane.org/post.php?group=gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs</a>. </address> <br> Your <a href="http://lilypond.org/web/devel/participating/documentation-adding">suggestions for the documentation</a> are welcome. </font> </p> </div> <P> Other languages: <a href="Formatting-cue-notes.fr.html">français</a>, <a href="Formatting-cue-notes.es.html">español</a>. <BR> </P> </BODY></html>
