Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to reuse vertical space which was previously occupied by a temporary staff that was earlier present on the same line. From my experiments, it does not seem to work and every new temporary staff receives its own "bar" of vertical space.
An example is attached. My intention is to have all temporary staves within a single line occupy the same "bar of vertical space" (I am not sure what the appropriate term is) under the main staff. Currently, the second temporary staff is shifted lower than the first temporary staff. I know it might be possible to use spacers to keep the same temporary staff context alive during the entire line and then make empty parts disappear by removing some engravers or by using \RemoveEmptyStaves (I did not try any of those methods, but I am assuming it is possible). However, that seems overly complicated to me for something as simple as reusing existing vertical space, which is in fact left unoccupied anyway. Is there a better way? Thanks for your suggestions. Regards Peter Bašista
