+Automatic piano reduction
+</H2>
+<P>
+Perhaps you'd like a 4-part vocal piece written on 4 separate staffs,
+as well as a piano reduction on two staffs with 2 voices.
+This could be done using:
+<BR><PRE>
+score
+ staffs=6
+ bracket=1-4
+ brace=5-6
+staff 3
+ clef=treble8
+staff 4
+ clef=bass
+staff 5
+ vscheme=2o
+ staffscale=0.75 // make piano staffs a little smaller
+staff 6
+ clef=bass
+ vscheme=2o
+ staffscale=0.75
+
+// Define macros to put each voice on its own staff
+// plus the appropriate staff/voice of the piano staffs.
+define S 1 1 & 5 1: @ // soprano
+define A 2 1 & 5 2: @ // alto
+define T 3 1 & 6 1: @ // tenor
+define B 4 1 & 6 2: @ // bass
+

+S 2c+;;
+A 2f;e;
+T 2a;g;
+B 2c;;
