Hello, I am having trouble hiding an empty staff line following a time signature change when I am using line breaks. In the example below, the staff for the melody line should disappear in measure 4. It does disappear if I use \RemoveEmptyStaves in the Staff context, but I want to keep the rest in measure 2. How can I make this staff disappear while keeping the rested measure, which represents a line of rests in the original (not so tiny) score?
I have found that I get the desired result if I comment out the lyrics, but then I'm without the lyrics. But this tells me that the lyrics have something to do with this.

Stop. } >> \new Staff \relative c'' { \TimeKey a4 b c d \break a b c d \break \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment 1 4) a b c \time 3/4 \break \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment 2 4) a | b c d } >> } \layout { \context { \Staff %\RemoveEmptyStaves } } % End Example _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
