I have also tried installing gs from source. Lilypond does not seem to be able to find this newer version.

Re: Unable to tie chords together in chordmode
If you typeset your chords using a ChordNames context, \new ChordNames \harmonies then there is no support for ties. On the other hand, if you typeset the chords using normal notes, \new Staff \harmonies then you will of course also get the ties. So, it really has nothing to do with \chordmode per se.

Re: \score
Each \score block corresponds to one score in the output. What probably confuses you is that it nowadays is optional in most situations to explicitly use \score{...}, if you don't add it yourself, LilyPond will figure out anyway. One example when you have to use \score explicitly is when you have several scores in the same .ly file (for example several movements) and want to specify a separate title for each of them. Then you have to put the \header block within the corresponding \score block, so LilyPond realizes what belongs where. Same if you want to specify the tempo used in the MIDI file for each separate score. Example: \version "2.6.0" \score{ \relative c'{ c d e f | g1 | } \header{ piece = "First movement" } \layout{} \midi{\tempo 4=80 } } \score{ \relative c''{ g e f d | c1 | } \header{ piece = "Second movement" } \layout{} \midi{\tempo 4=120 } } /Mats Rob wrote: Hello, I'm new.

Re: percussion staves
Now that I see your original question, you could do something like: \score{ << \new RhythmicStaff \with { instrument = "cymb." \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1 } { c4 c8 c } \new DrumStaff \with { instrument = "cast." \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1 } { c8 c4 c8 } \new Staff \with { instrument = \markup{\column { "chin. bl. h" "chin. bl. m" "chin. bl. l" }} \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #3 } \relative c''{<<{d4 d} \\ {b b} \\ {g g} >> } >> } I don't really know anything about drum notation, so you probably want to use \drummode to get the correct note heads and I included examples of both RhythmicStaff, DrumStaff and an ordinary Staff, just to illustrate that they are available. /Mats andrea valle wrote: Hi to all, I searched thru docs and archives but I wasn't able to make my ideas clear.

Could anyone post an example? I only know how to set the number of lines (StaffSymbol #'line-count) and how to change Staff's interline space (for all lines: StaffSymbol #'staff-space).

Re: Percussion staves: news?
As far as I can see, there is no easy solution. You could redefine the function used to print the StaffSymbol object. The default implementation, Staff_symbol::print is done in C++, but it should be possible to do it in Scheme as well. /Mats andrea valle wrote: Hi list, sorry to bother you again. But: does anyone know about the question I posted (here following)? To summarize: I need a (unique) staff in this way: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ Is it possible to create a single staff like this, with different interline spaces? A possible solution in Finale is to make some lines in staff invisible. Is this availlable in lily?
