Whom should I talk to to suggest putting getting these tweaks predefined in the "shipping" installation of Lilypond and documented in the official Lilypond manual?
This mailing list is a good place to talk about it. Some similar cases came up up recently in another mailing list <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user-fr/2012-08/msg00043.html> with a related and very creative solution from Gilles. An important bit to explain here is that these commands depend on \RemoveEmptyStaves. Also, \hideStaff sounds similar to \hideNotes, which ensures space for the notes but makes them invisible, so somebody might think \hideStaff does the same to the staff. I can't think of a better name, though ("\treatStaffAsIfEmpty" ? ) The LSR is a good place for people to find solutions like this. This one, I think, would probably be imported from the LSR into the manual, Notation Reference section 1.6.2 Hiding Staves. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
