I am probably missing something fundamental in my LilyPond knowledge that
would help with the following question, but I'm not sure what it is, and
I'm having a lot more difficulty than normal figuring out what to look for
in the manual.
Anyway, the piece starts off in unison, then has a div. section written on
multiple staffs, then comes back together.
I can get multiple staffs with
<<
{ ...top part.. }
\new Staff { ...bottom part ...}
>>
but what I really want is a staff group. The bracket on the left would be
nice, but even more critical are the shared barlines.
However, I can't figure out how to get a \new StaffGroup to work. If I use
it as shown in the manual (but for the top-level staff creation) with my
two inside, then I get *three* staves, the first one just empty.
