Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows how to add empty staves to a score in the middle. I realize this may not be possible and my best option is to use the following wherever I want to add staves: << \new Staff { \once \omit Staff.TimeSignature s1*5 } >>
I have two voices and a piano, but my teacher wanted me to add empty staves in the middle for corrections. He wanted two systems on a page with two empty staves in the middle. If I use the above in the left hand of the piano part it just extends the piano bracket over it. I wasn't sure if there was another way. girl = { R1*4 } croc = { R1*4 } up = { a4 b c d } down = { << \new Staff { \once \omit Staff.TimeSignature s1*5 } >> fis4 fis fis fis } \score { << \new Staff << \new Voice = "girl" { \autoBeamOn \girl \accidentalStyle modern-voice-cautionary } >> \new Staff << \new Voice = "croc" { \autoBeamOn \croc \accidentalStyle modern-voice-cautionary } >> \new PianoStaff << \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano" \new Staff = "up" { \up \autoBeamOff } \new Staff = "down" { \down } >> >> } I hope this makes sense and I'm sorry if my code is screwed up. I took stuff out so it was easier to read and understand what I was attempting. -Molly
