It seems like you're asking for Hara Kiri, do you know about it? Just add the following to your paper block: \translator { \HaraKiriStaffContext } http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Hara-kiri-staves.html#Hara%20kiri%20staves I know that it would have desired effect with the only side-effect that the staves will disappear each time there's a line-long supply of rests. -- Best regards, Jérémie mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
