Hello all!
I have a large orchestral score, in which individual instruments at
times are resting for many pages. I would like these instruments to
disappear (those staves not to be shown) on systems where they have
nothing but rests.
The only way I can think of to do this, is to create a new staff at
the point where the instrument appears, and to do so each time.
Is there a less cumbersome way of doing this?
Hi!
Yes there is!
See Notation Reference manual:
NR 1.6.2 Modifying single staves > Hiding staves
[snip]
Also:
\layout {
\context {
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
}
}
To get rid of empty staves on the first line.
