Do you want to do this temporarily for debugging purposes? If so, you can use block comments. %{ \new DrumStaff << \stopStaff \hideNotes \new DrumVoice {\voiceOne \up} \new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down } >> %} > but > \new DrumStaff << > \stopStaff > \hideNotes > \new DrumVoice {\voiceOne \up} > \new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down } > >> > did just that, it hid the staff but the notes are left floating. hideNotes > had no effect :( > maybe its in the wrong place? Angle brackets << >> indicate simultaneous music, while curly brackets { } indicate sequential music. To make the DrumVoices come after the \stopStaff and \hideNotes, use curly brackets: \new DrumStaff { \stopStaff \hideNotes << \new DrumVoice {\voiceOne \up} \new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down } >> } Regards, Nathan _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
