Hi Ed, what else do you think could be stopping it from hiding? I think RhythmicStaff, by default, does not have \RemoveEmptyStaves — maybe try \new RhythmicStaff \with { \RemoveEmptyStaves } and see if that works for you. Hope this helps! Kieren.

You might also consider writing everything in one relative variable, then convert everything to absolute (with Frescobaldi for example), then create a little script to split the variables into chunks and finally reconvert them to relative mode. HTH Urs Kieren MacMillan

Hi Ming, Perhaps if you used \relative a' { a4 c b e | } instead of \relative c'' { a4 c b e | } you'd be able to reuse the material? Also, there are \extractMusic functions which you might be able to use, to pull just specific chunks (e.g., one measure) out of a larger variable. Hope

Figured I'd post this to this thread because it's a follow on from what we've discussed. I've extracted the time changes from the parts and put them in their own 'global' variable. Amazingly enough I managed to get it work as you've suggested after only a couple of tries, so well done me ;)
