I often generate vocal scores with multiple staves in a ChoirStaff and two
staves in a PianoStaff. Typically such scores have the tempo markings both
above the ChoirStaff and above the PianoStaff.
This is easily done in Lilypond by moving the Metronome_mark_engraver and
Staff_collecting_engraver from the Score context to the ChoirStaff and
PianoStaff contexts, as in this example:
\version "2.25.0"
\header {
title = "title"
}
tempoTrack = {
\tempo Moderato 4=120
}
music = \relative {
c'4 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
\bar "|."
}
\book {
\score {
<<
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff
<<
\new Voice \TempoTrack
\new Voice \music
>>
\new Staff
<<
\new Voice \music
>>
>>
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff
<<
\new Voice \TempoTrack
\new Voice \music
>>
>>
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove Metronome_mark_engraver
\remove Staff_collecting_engraver
}
\context {
\ChoirStaff
\consists Metronome_mark_engraver
\consists Staff_collecting_engraver
}
\context {
\PianoStaff
\consists Metronome_mark_engraver
\consists Staff_collecting_engraver
}
}
}
}
However, when this is done the bar numbers are lowered, and conflict with the
ChoirStaff bracket:
(Normally the bar numbers would be higher so as not to collide with the
bracket.) Presumably this is because the Bar_number_engraver also uses the
results of the Staff_collecting_engraver.
Is there an easy fix?
