Hello, I'm trying to typeset a piece for 4 Percussionists. Each of them will use 4 \Staffs combined into a \StaffGroup: 2 percussion staffs and a combined bass/treble \PianoStaff for Mallets. I would like to have the name "Percussion 1" printed in front of the whole group, vertically centered and always printed throughout the score, even if some staffs are removed with the \RemoveEmptyStaffContext if they don't contain anything for some systems. Does somebody know about a way to accomplish that? I couldn't find anything in the docs or LSR (I also checked orchestrallily to no avail).
I tried \set StaffGroup.instrumentName = \markup \left-column { "Perkussion 1" } but that doesn't print anything (although it doesn't complain either). Below is the code for one of the four percussion players with the name assigned to the top staff. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Orm \version "2.13.23" poneone = { { f4 a c' e' g' } } ponetwo = { { f4 a c' e' g' } } ponethreeup = { \relative c' { c4 e g b d } } ponethreedown = { \relative c { g b d f a } } \score { \new StaffGroup { << \new Staff = poneone { \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup \left-column { "Perkussion 1" "" } \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = \markup \left-column { "Perk. 1" "" } \clef percussion \poneone } \new Staff = ponetwo { \clef percussion \ponetwo } \new PianoStaff { << \new Staff = ponethreeup { \ponethreeup } \new Staff = ponethreedown { \clef bass \ponethreedown } >> } >> } \layout { indent = 4\cm \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } } } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
