Thanks again. What you sent wasn't quite right, a "{" was in the wrong place or something, but close enough for me to understand what is going on. I am including what worked for me so that it might help someone else. So, Brahms Symphony No. 1 2nd movement where the first violins split into section and solo can be done like this.
\paper { papersize = "letter" indent = 0.0\in } \score { \new GrandStaff { \notes { d'4 d' d' d' | d' d' d' d' | d' d' d' d' | d' d' d' d' | \break << { e'4 e' e' e' } \new Staff { c'4 c' c' c' } >> d'4 d' d' d' } } } This is how I have seen it done, with the brace. One last nitpick, perhaps a bug. When I run lilypond on this, the last barline of the first line is not at the end of the line. I don't think I am doing any thing to cause this. If anyone knows anything, please help. Thanks again.
