Hello! The only thing I could not properly transcribe in Robert Schumann's "Du bist wie eine Blume" was the key change from treble to bass in the beginning on the right hand piano staff.
It may be a strange thing to do, but if Schumann wrote it and it was printed in several editions of the score, it should be possible for Lilypond to render. I also saw this request in forum and mailing posts. They mention two workarounds - use \partial and hide bars or use \grace with a hidden note in all staves. I consider both unacceptable hacks that would affect the MIDI output and require changes to all staves. Lilypond input should be readable and durable, and adding extra notes to all staves looks like an obfuscation to me. Hacks tend to break and scare away potential contributors. I believe Lilypond should be made smart enough to understand this: \version "2.15.23" \score { << \new Staff << \context Voice = "melody" { \clef treble \clef bass c1 } >> >> \layout {} } As it stands now, the treble key is eliminated. If the user cares to write "\clef treble \clef bass", why should the user input be ignored and the first clef eliminated? At least there should be an option to suppress such annoying optimization. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
