I've created an incipit for a piece I'm working on, but there's a minor issue with it. Here's the code.
%%% Example begins \version "2.16.0" disIncip = \markup { \score { { \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup \right-column { Discantus [Tenor] } \override Staff.InstrumentName #'padding = #1 \override Staff.InstrumentName #'self-alignment-X = #1 \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'neomensural \clef "petrucci-c3" \time 2/2 \key g \minor \hideNotes g'8 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% <-- This is the line at issue } \layout { indent = 0 } } } \new ChoirStaff \with { \override SystemStartBracket #'collapse-height = #0 } { \new Staff \with { instrumentName = \disIncip \override InstrumentName #'padding = #2 \override InstrumentName #'self-alignment-X = #1 } { c''1 } } \layout { indent = 5\cm } %%% Example ends The line I've pointed out above is what I'm frustrated about. The hidden eighth note generates, as would be expected, an empty staff symbol where the note would be if it wasn't hidden. I'm trying to get that to go away so that the incipit resembles those at the beginning of this piece (http://www3.cpdl.org/wiki/images/3/37/TALL-SA1.pdf), but I can't figure out how. Commenting out the line entirely results in both the incipit and the instrument name ("Discantus [Tenor]") not showing up at all. Changing the hidden eighth note to a spacer rest (i.e. s8 instead of \hideNotes g'8) fixes the spacing issue, but it also results in the staff symbol stopping unexpectedly in the middle of the key signature, as in the attachment. How can I fix this? DR
