A system is a single line of a set of staves that are grouped together. OK,
maybe that isn't the best explanation, but maybe an illustration is better:

Thanks for all the suggestions. Everything that I read on the mailing list
sends me back to the LilyPond user manual, and every time that happens, I
understand it a little bit more. The document is pretty cryptic in places, but

Hi
Thanks to all who tried to help till now.
I tried also with a lute prelude (the first one on this lute page @tobis). The
problem remains.
But now, I know why.
All these Midi-files where certainly done using quantization. During playing
the player played everything staccato, what is normal
If you have the technical capability to complain about the docs, you
have the technical ability to improve those docs.
Hear, hear! This is a good saying, worth to remember.

Hi!
I would like to first make a staff with the notes called melody. Then,
when the notes stop, I'd like to start a new set of staves, namely the
choir.
I thought, the following code would be the answer, but instead of stopping
when there are no more notes, the melody staff is printed, on top

)
)
The usage (as I

In fact I got no sound on my speakers using the midi player of Lilytool.
Nevertheless the same file.midi gave sounds on the speakers when

I hope this has been helpful.
I was about to add it to the LSR when I realized it only works when
your score contains only *one* note... Try adding a few more notes
before the c'1, and you'll see it doesn't work any longer.

Oops -- my bad. I misread the error messages. All that needs to happen
