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. > > LilyBin exemplar with a couple of my attempts: http://lilybin.com/ul6alr/5
Hello, In this case I typically use a combination of Keep_alive_together_engraver and VerticalAxisGroup.remove-layer with keepAliveInterfaces. See NR 1.6.2 Modifying single staves > Hiding staves http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/modifying-single-staves.html#hiding-staves Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <[email protected]>
