Hi Michael I don't know a regular way of doing this, but here's a hack which might get you going. It's a way of fooling LilyPond into thinking the standard staff has continued after the break. Pinch, say, a tenth of the first note value after the break and introduce a spacer note of that tenth, leaving the first note of the ossia and the first note of the standard staff to be 9/10s. That keeps the bar timing right, and has little effect on the note spacing or MIDI.
Like this: \version "2.11.34" \paper { ragged-right = ##t } \new Staff ="main" { \relative g' { r4 g8 g c4 c8 d | \break s8*1/10 << { f8*9/10 c8 c } \new Staff \with { alignAboveContext = "main" \override Clef #'stencil = ##f \override TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f fontSize = #-2 \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -2) } { f8*9/10 f8 c } >> r8 r4 r | } } > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:lilypond-user-bounces+t.daniels=treda.co.u > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Michael Käppler > Sent: 01 February 2008 20:46 > To: lilypond-user@gnu.org > Subject: Keeping ossia staves away from SystemStartBar > > > Hi all, > I appreciate LilyPond's possibility for creating > ossia staves much.
