Hi Valentin,
The solutions you provided worked great, I just had to tweak the arpeggio's
spacing. The configured dashed bars are also working perfectly.
No. 3:
Apologies for not having provided the code in my first email. I have
attached code based on an excerpt from a 9-page score I am working on, and
minimized its contents as much as possible. Considering how seemingly
random its behavior is, I don't know how to simplify the ossia staves for
easier inspection. Code posted below, kindly check the "vOssiaLeft" staff
for some instructions.
Thanks in advance!
Hans

% first observe the |. barline after bar 6.

% notice no difference.
% but then also entirely remove the 2nd bar,
% leaving only 1 bar in this staff.
% notice final barline is fixed.
