The following fragment demonstrates a problem with StaffGroups:
\score {
\notes <
\type Staff = staffa \relative c'' {c4 d e f}
\type StaffGroup = group <
\type Staff = staffb \relative c'' {c4 d e f}
\type Staff = staffc \relative c'' {c4 d e f}
>
\type Staff = staffd \relative c'' {c4 d e f}
>
}
This is supposed to have a 2 staff StaffGroup in the middle, and a
loner Staff above and below the group. However, the StaffGroup seems
to "adopt" the lower staff, such that you get the isolated staff on
top (correct) and a StaffGroup of three staves (incorrect - should be
two staves and a loner).
This is a problem that may come up when one wants to make orchestral
scores, as the percussion is often not grouped.
