Hi Phil, > Why do you need the line at all? I've never seen a vocal score anything like > that, and I have seen quite a few.
With only a very quick scan of my library, I turned up about a dozen that have a bar for the vox — they're mostly musical theatre scores (e.g., Les Miz, Sweeney Todd, Light In The Piazza, etc.), though some are "traditional" scores. > Gould says it shouldn't be there. Soloists = single line on the left. > Chorus = bracket. 1. As both conductor and engraver, I find the "loose staves" quite a distraction; the barred group is superior to my eye (and, apparently, to the engravers of the scores mentioned above). 2. Notation evolves to better service the needs of performers — just because Gould says something, doesn't make it so. ;) Thanks, Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
