This is enough to keep working, but it looks bad -- barlines don't cross between staffs, and there's no grouping a la https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/69/lily-9c91c2b7.png from the manual. > > I can get a pair of staffs that are correct on their own by creating a StaffGroup with two new staffs -- http://lilybin.com/1l8whf/9 -- but the original staff continues through.

Hello, One way mentioned in the documentation is to use the "Keep_alive_together_engraver" in combination with keepAliveInterfaces and VerticalAxisGroup.remove-layer. See NR 1.6.2 Modifying single staves > Hiding staves https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/writing-parts#hiding-staves Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com>
