Dear list, I'm working on a stage musical type score in which the last few bars contain only spoken text over rests. I am using this code :
\layout { \context { \Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves % To use the setting globally, uncomment the following line: \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t } } \version "2.18.2" I'm using this code within \score to display my spoken text as recommended in the fine manual. \override LyricText.font-shape = #'italic \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT Everything works great except that the last staves are hidden since they contain only rests, and the spoken text floats in the void. Is there a way of overriding RemoveEmptyStaves temporarily, perhaps by forcing a bar rest to appear for instance. I've done lots of searching and up to now I've always found solutions to my problems but this one has got me stumped. Thanks in advance, Peter PS. Thanks to everyone who contributes to Lilypond I'm really enjoying using it and I really appreciate all the hard work that goes into it. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Remove-empty-staves-but-one-tp183033.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
