Hi, Thanks, I actually used \a and \b when I tried it, but the original example was from Michiel. I think that this is a bug. It is certainly very strange; I'm sure that I have done this kind of thing before....
Reducing the problem down if you start a score with a \relative, changing to a non-relative spits out another Staff. If you start without a \relative then this seems to get things going OK and subsequent \relative invocations have no effect - there is only one Staff. Two staffs: \version "2.2.6" \score { \notes { \relative c'' {c d e f} c d e f \relative c'' {c d e f} c d e f } } Only one staff: \version "2.2.6" \score { \notes { c d e f \relative c'' {c d e f} c d e f \relative c'' {c d e f} } } Regards, Ralph -------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.tribaldata.co.uk ...or see what I do in my spare time: www.skelmanthorpeband.org -------------------------------------- "Man who shoot off mouth... expect to lose face." > -----Original Message----- > From: Mats Bengtsson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 15 October 2004 14:24 > To: Ralph Little > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: two questions > > > For some reason, LilyPond creates new contexts for each of the > blocks.
