With a GrandStaff the span bar counts as a single bar line, which you won't have in a ChoirStaff. So what we want (maybe?) is something that'll put the fermata above the bar line in the upper staff, and below the bar line in the lower staff. Am I understanding correctly that's what you're after? If so, try: upFermata = { \once \set Staff.caesuraType = #'((underlying-bar-line . "||")) \once \set Staff.caesuraTypeTransform = ##f \caesura ^\fermata } downFermata = { \once \set Staff.caesuraType = #'((underlying-bar-line . "||")) \once \set Staff.caesuraTypeTransform = ##f \caesura _\fermata } musicA = { f'1 \upFermata R1 f'2 \upFermata f'2 R1 b'1 \upFermata \fine } musicB = { f'1 \downFermata R1 f'2 \downFermata f'2 R1 b'1 \downFermata \fine } \new ChoirStaff << \new Staff \musicA \new Staff \musicB >> Maybe that'll get a little closer to what you're after. -- Michael
