Re: Remove empty staves but one.

[Peter Reid]

Thanks for your reply David, 

I couldn't work out how to integrate your code into my score (I'm a beginner at 
Lilypond) but I searched for it on google and found what I was looking for here 
:

http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/override-VerticalAxisGroup-remove-empty-works-only-at-the-beginning-of-a-score-td52152.html
 


Thanks again David and the Lilypond community,
Peter

Re: Remove empty staves but one.

[Peter Reid]

That works for me and is simpler than the solution that I posted previously.  

I also need to cancel the effect of the command later on. I assumed I just had 
to add :
\revert Staff.VerticalAxisGroup.remove-empty

But this doesn't seem to have any effect.

Thanks again,
Peter
