Hiding staves
.............
Staff lines can be hidden by removing the ‘Staff_symbol_engraver’ from
the ‘Staff’ context. As an alternative, ‘\stopStaff’ may be used.
\new Staff \with {
\remove "Staff_symbol_engraver"
}
\relative { a''8 f e16 d c b a2 }
Empty staves can be hidden (for a so-called ‘Frenched Score’) by
applying the ‘\RemoveEmptyStaves’ command on a context, which can be
done globally (in a ‘\layout’ block) as well as for specific staves only
(in a ‘\with’ block). This command removes all empty staves in a score
except for those in the first system. If you want those in the first
system to be hidden also, use ‘\RemoveAllEmptyStaves’. Supported
contexts are ‘Staff’, ‘RhythmicStaff’ and ‘VaticanaStaff’.
Note: A staff is considered empty when it contains only
multi-measure rests, rests, skips, spacer rests, or a
combination of these elements.
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\RemoveEmptyStaves
}
}
\relative <<
\new Staff {
e'4 f g a \break
b1 \break
a4 b c2
}
\new Staff {
c,4 d e f \break
R1 \break
f4 g c,2
}
>>
‘\RemoveAllEmptyStaves’ can also be used to create ossia sections for a
staff. For details, see *note Ossia staves::.
