It's not very well documented (yet), but you probably want to use staffLineLayoutFunction: (lifted from here: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=blob;f=input/regression/chromatic-scales.ly) scales = \relative { a ais b c cis d dis e f fis g gis a } \new Staff \with { \remove "Accidental_engraver" \remove "Key_engraver" staffLineLayoutFunction = #ly:pitch-semitones middleCPosition = #-6 clefGlyph = #"clefs.G" clefPosition = #(+ -6 7) } { \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-count = #6 \time 4/4 << \scales \context NoteNames { \set printOctaveNames= ##f \scales } >> } Regards, Neil _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
