I am trying to make a jazz lead sheet template. One requirement is that the treble clef and key signature should only appear in the first system, and the subsequent systems should begin with a bar line. This picture shows what I have so far (generated by the lilypond code at the end of this message).
<http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t5643/first_system_bar_line_example_%28Small%29.png> I don't want the bar line at the very beginning, to the left of the treble clef. So I tried to override Score.SystemStartBar for just the first system. I tried various permutations of \override and \once in either the layout block or near the %%% in the melody section, using statements like the following: --\override Score.SystemStartBar #'collapse-height = #30 --\override Score.SystemStartBar #'X-offset = -10 --\override Score.SystemStartBar.break-visibility = #'#(#f #f #f) I can't seem to override anything once, and then set it back. Any suggestions? ---------------- \version "2.18.2" \header { title = "First System Bar Line Example" } \paper { indent = 0\mm } \layout { \override Score.Clef #'break-visibility = #'#(#f #f #f) % make only the first clef visible \override Score.KeySignature #'break-visibility = #'#(#f #f #f) % make only the first time signature visible \override Score.SystemStartBar #'collapse-height = #1 % allow single-staff system bars \context {\Score \remove "Bar_number_engraver"} } melody = \relative c'' { %%% Try to put something here to make just the bar line to left of treble clef disappear \numericTimeSignature c4 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c \break c4 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c \break c4 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c \bar "|." } \score {<<\new Staff { \melody }>>} -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
