["Frenching" at the beginning of a score]
PS: I'm a beginner both with reading/writing music and Lilypond so feel
free to let me know if this is simply Not Done, especially if you have
suggestions of What To Do Instead. :-)
This is
i) possible with recent versions of LilyPond (command
\RemoveAllEmptyStaves, added by Simon Albrecht on Mozart's 260th birthday),
ii) not terribly common at least in traditional orchestral scores (where
usually the whole orchestra is displayed in the first system, omitting
silent staves only from the second system on)
iii) perfectly valid in some situations like yours, but has the slight
drawback that the long form of instrumentName's are then never printed
for those instruments that are ommited in the first system. So, you
definitely should provide shortInstrumentName's for all staves.
Look at this:
\version "2.19.82"
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\RemoveAllEmptyStaves
}
}
<<
\new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Instrument 1"
shortInstrumentName = "Instr. 1" } { R1*20 d4 }
\new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Instrument 2"
shortInstrumentName = "Instr. 2" } { R1*20 d4 }
\new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Instrument 3"
shortInstrumentName = "Instr. 3" } { R1*20 d4 }
\new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Voice" shortInstrumentName =
"Voc" } { \repeat unfold 81 d'4 }
\new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Instrument 4"
shortInstrumentName = "Instr. 4" } { R1*20 d4 }
>>
Best
Lukas
