If the cantor part is so short that the SATB should start on the same line and you want the bracket of the staffgroup after the cantor section, then I'm afraid it will be very tricky to do with LilyPond today. The best I can come up with is the following simple example. With the \break, you see how LilyPond can remove staves that are empty for a full line, if you remove the \break, you get the cantor part and the SATB part on the same line but probably not with the desired layout. You could also try to replace the R1*2 with s1*2 if you don't want the rests.
\version "2.2"
\score{
\new ChoirStaff \notes <<
\context Staff = SA \relative c''{
R1*2 | g4 a b g | g a b g
}
\context Staff = TB \relative c'{
\clef bass
% Cantor
c4 a d d, | g2 g | \break
% Main part
g2 d | g b
}
>>
\paper{
\context{
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext
}
}
}

Hello!
I am wanting to set some music which has the general layout:
SA
C TB
SA is a stave with two parts (soprano, alto) sharing the treble clef
TB is a stave with two parts (tenor, bass) sharing the bass clef
I've set these OK, but the whole staffgroup needs to be 'prefixed' by a separate short stave
for the Cantor (C in the example above). This is in the bass clef and sits to the left of the
main staff group in vertical alignment with the TB stave.
Can this be done in lilypond? I have tried various ideas but as a newbie nothing seems to work!!
I'm using version 2.2.5 under WinXP.
Thanks in advance for your help
