The term ambitus or ambit denotes a range of pitches for a given voice in a part of music. It may also denote the pitch range that a musical instrument is capable of playing. Ambits are printed on vocal parts so that performers can easily determine if it matches their capabilities.
Ambits are denoted at the beginning of a piece near the initial clef. The range is graphically specified by two note heads that represent the lowest and highest pitches. Accidentals are only printed if they are not part of the key signature.
\layout { \context { \Voice \consists Ambitus_engraver } } \relative c'' { aes c e2 cis,2 }
Ambits can be added per voice. In that case, the ambitus must be moved manually to prevent collisions.
\new Staff << \new Voice \with { \consists "Ambitus_engraver" } \relative c'' { \override Ambitus #'X-offset = # 2.0 \voiceOne c4 a d e f1 } \new Voice \with { \consists "Ambitus_engraver" } \relative c' { \voiceTwo es4 f g as b1 } >>
If you have multiple voices in a single staff and you want a single
ambitus per staff rather than per voice, add the
Ambitus_engraver
to the Staff
context rather than to the
Voice
context.
\new Staff \with { \consists "Ambitus_engraver" } << \new Voice \relative c'' { \voiceOne c4 a d e f1 } \new Voice \relative c' { \voiceTwo es4 f g as b1 } >>
