With some trial and error I managed in the D.5.1 ancient music template to move the SystemStartBracket (using #'extra-offset) towards the end of the incipit so that it is placed at the beginning of the modern notation. Attached an image. I'm sure with \startStaff and \stopStaff I can tweak the looks of the incipit even more to my liking. But the placing of the SystemStartBracket is tricky, because the layout of the first system might change, and then the bracket would print in a wrong place.
Another aproach (recenly but also earlier mentioned in mailing list) would be embed \score inside instrumentName, but then the vertical alignment is a bit tricky, dependend on extent of lyrics in the incipit, etc. Isn't there a more direct way to get a systemstart in the middle of a score? Using some \systemStart or \restart command? (Many years I used mup, which has a restart command to do just that.) Clefs/Time/Key signatures could then also automatically be printed again without having to force fullsize clef changes etc. I'm already trying to add this option myself (delving into scm/ and lily/) but could use some help/hints .... :) with best regards, and a happy new year, Wilbert Berendsen -- http://www.wilbertberendsen.nl/ "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -- Mahatma Gandi
