Where should I type the notes for the middle bar ? > what you're trying to do seems to be creating a staff system on the fly, but the code shows a staff system which is contained in a staff system which doesn't make too much sense and will probably cause problems all over. One solution could be to serialize the situation in the Staffgroups and use explicit "\contexts" which relate the music material to the different staves. This should work for your example: \version "2.11.56" \score { << \new PianoStaff << \relative c'' \new Staff { \time 4/4 g8 a b c d c b a %scale 1 gis ais c des es des c bes %scale 2 a b cis d e d cis b %scale 3 c d e f g f e d %scale 4 es f g aes bes aes g f %scale 5 } \new StaffGroup \relative c'' { % first part: \new Staff =middle { r1 gis4 gis gis gis } % second part (two staff systems): << \context Staff = middle { aes8 ges aes ges aes ges aes ges} \new Staff =lower { \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f a8 g a g a g a g } >> % third part (again just one staff system): \context Staff=middle { c4 c c c } } >> >> } If you want the bars without music to be blanked you could even use "\stopStaff" and "\startStaff" explicitely. -- Orm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
