Yes, thanks. I've more or less worked out by trial and error that the cross-staff knees only work in \context PianoStaff. Trying to do it in anything else zaps the whole of the rest of the file! [...] angle type brackets attached to the system? > > Try a \context GrandStaff Okay, but GrandStaff won't allow knees across staves. Is there any way to force the angle brackets onto PianoStaff? I'm not out of the woods yet, as I recollect seeing that PianoStaff will not allow hiding empty staves, and in all the 5 pages or so of this score there are only three lines of double staff system, so I need to find a way to switch back and forth... Anyway, thanks for the help. The manuals are very extensive and good, but lack the bit in the middle - by which I mean something a bit more in depth between the tutorial level of info and the (to non-C-coders) inscrutable pages about contexts and classes etc., you know, examples of how to move a slur up one unit at the right hand end only, how to get a slur to cross voices (I have really tied such knots doing that and got only indifferent results!), and so on... -- richard _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
