Attached is a silly example showing one way of having separated and condensed wind staves appear and disappear at will, without inserting layout commands into the music (content) code — instead, all layout choices are made "at runtime" (i.e., in the presentation layer), using the edition-engraver. Note that the staff names appear correctly, "automagically". As I indicated earlier in this thread, there are pros and cons to this method. But I hope this clears that part of it up for you. Best, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info
