### A.4.1 String quartet

This template demonstrates a simple string quartet. It also uses a `\global` section for time and key signatures

>     global= {
>       \time 4/4
>       \key c \major
>     }

>     violinOne = \new Voice \relative c'' {
>       c2 d
>       e1
>       \bar "|."
>     }

>     violinTwo = \new Voice \relative c'' {
>       g2 f
>       e1
>       \bar "|."
>     }

>     viola = \new Voice \relative c' {
>       \clef alto
>       e2 d
>       c1
>       \bar "|."
>     }

>     cello = \new Voice \relative c' {
>       \clef bass
>       c2 b
