I there, I am typesetting a piece for a small orchestra. There ares
voice for the violas and cellos too. These violas play unisono for the
first five pages. Then suddenly they play very different voices. I am
reluctant to add a Viola I staff and a viola II staff to the whole
score. The composer was it too. But at page six I need a new staff group
for the violas.
I've have tried this with the RemoveEmptyStaves engraver similar like
this (please ignore the wrong clef for the viola):
\version "2.16.0"
\include "deutsch.ly"
\score {
<<
\new Staff \relative c'' { \repeat unfold 29 { c8 c c c c c c c } }
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff \relative c'' { c1 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c g8 a h c
d c h a }
\new Staff \relative c'' { R1 R R R R R R R R R R R R R R c8 h a g
f g h c }
>>
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves }
}
}
This approach has two drawbacks.
- First I have a staff line with rests at the beginning, where both
viola players should play.
- Second I have a measure #15 at the line where they play different
melodies. The actual first measure of the line where the different
melodies start can not be predicted easily.
I could try to quote the first viola voice in the second to get the
correct notes in the first line. But I would prefer to write only one
viola line at first page. Further the count of measures could change
when I change the paper format.
I could also add a \break before measure #15 to control the lines
breaks. But I am looking for a better solution. Is there something like
a RemoveIdenticalStaves engraver where I could define which staves may
be removed?

Helge
