LilyPond won't really try to guess something like this based on instrument names. If you start a new \score block LilyPond will create a new score, indented, at bar 1 etc., which is as it should be IMO (i.e. it behaves consistently rather than trying to guess your intentions). Multi-movement forms (suites, sonatas) frequently do this (start a new indented score on the same page). Sometimes it can be a good solution to use a new \score block in place of a line break in an existing score, in which case the best thing to do would be to continue as you are. If you post a snippet illustrating the problem then perhaps someone could suggest an alternative that you haven't thought of. hth, Kevin _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
