Perhaps I'm mistaken, and if so, I'm certain will correct me, but I believe lilypond isn't able to do this. You would need three staves, one each for the individual parts and on common one for both, manually assign music to the appropriate staves, and insert breaks where necessary. > On Aug

Lilypond's English Horn MIDI instrument is non-transposing?

I'm working on an arrangement fordable-reed quartet. Here's the score block: \score { \new StaffGroup << \new Staff = "oboe1" \with { instrumentName = "oboe1" midiInstrument = "oboe" } { \clef "treble" \soprano } \new Staff = "oboe2" \with { instrumentName = "oboe2"
