Yes! You solved it!
Thank you Marc and Klaus. I tested your suggestions Marc, and they
worked fine for the ties. However I had no success with the starting
repeat. I had already seen the example you referred to, and found that
it works fine with only one staff. But my score is a wee more
complicated, and I was not able to find a suitable solution.
On the whole none of my efforts had any success with my approach. First
when I took the solution from Klaus with two parallel staves, well one
of which partly hidden, all the pieces of the puzzle came to their
places. Indeed all the points on my wish list were fulfilled. Fantastic!
However I used the hint from you Marc with the standard bar definition
".|:-||", which implied a simpler solution. Yes, I know that you, Klaus,
also proposed this. I discovered, when reading the manual, that this was
existing already in version 2.16, without my knowing, but then with
another definition.
However, when I should apply this on my real score, I stumbled over a
new issue. I had not mentioned this, as I was not aware of it being a
problem. How can I put an instrument name on the staves? Possibly I can
have the name written at the first measure, but when the first staff is
increased with another one, I cannot put a name on that. I can use
\shortInstrumentName, but then I get the name written at every staff,
and this is not what I want. Is there possibly a way to force a writing
once, at the start of the new staff?
As before this image is created with Gimp.
Many thanks to you Marc and Klaus for your valuable aid.
