I’m working with a score that has multiple staves that appear and disappear at various points.
I ran into a curious behavior: I have two staves fro a while, the second has two notes that complete mid-measure so I encoded like this: \score { \new StaffGroup \relative c' { \new Staff \key f \major \time 6/8 << { R2.*2 e2.~ \pp } \new Staff \relative c'' { \once \set Staff.explicitKeySignatureVisibility = #end-of-line-invisible \set midiInstrument = #"violin" \once \omit Staff.TimeSignature \key d \minor <g bes,>2. << {g~ g8} \\ {f2. ( _\markup{\italic dim.} e8) \pp} >> r8 r r4 r8 } >> \break a8-. \p ^\markup{solo arco} [r16 g-. a8-.] c-. r r } } However, when the second staff concluded, it didn’t disappear. I worked out it was because the << >> region wasn’t aligned with a measure break. So, I replaced with this: << {g~ g8 b\rest b\rest b4\rest b8\rest} \\ {f2. ( _\markup{\italic dim.} e8) \pp s s s4 s8} >> however, this was quite clunky. I had to create rest space in both note groups, and then I had to reposition the rests in the top note grouping to apply to both voices. Aside from the staff not disappearing, the top solution works well. Is there a more streamlined way to do this?
