Dirk and Andre-- I wrote "So that basically put me back where I started: with 4 instruments [2 SEPARATE ones for the 2 vocal lines] and \sepbarrules, there was no need to resort to musixdbr and all that ugly inline TeX", and I also saw in Read's book that he grouped vocal staves together with thin-thick straight braces rather than curly, and I did figure out how to do that. So at that point I was right back to where you both are saying I should be.
However, I was also trying to plan ahead for the possibility of having to make a separate part containing just the 2 vocal staves. I knew for sure that without modifying the scor2prt code, there would be no way to do that with PMX if the two vocal staves were separate instruments. Subsequent experimenting has shown that even if the SA-TB were all one instrument, scor2prt ran into trouble making a separate part due to the new movement commands where the number of instruments went from 3 to 2 and then back to 3. So my current plan is to stay with 4 instruments. If I need to make a separate vocal score, I'll plan to make it simply by manually editing a copy of the main score. --Don -----Original Message----- > From: TeX-Music [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dirk > Laurie > Sent: Monday, January 02, 2017 1:39 AM > To: Werner Icking Music Archive <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Tex-music] Oh what tangled webs we weave > > 2017-01-01 0:41 GMT+02:00 Don Simons <[email protected]>: > > Some of you may recall my issue with adding extra vertical space > > between 2 staves of a single instrument.
