Hello,
I've been given a short item to realise in Lilypond and it includes a
layout problem that I haven't been able to solve.
Basically, it is a piano piece in which, after a bit, a part for
chimes is added: i.e., another staff above the piano's treble part a
few bars in as in my MWE. I have tried to do this as an ossia staff
in testlayoutB.ly but it produces the result testlayoutB.pdf which
starts the chimes part at the beginning of the example, not where I
want it to start.
Label your staves and use alignAboveContext (or alignBelowContext) to
position the new staff relative to an existing staff.
\version "2.24.0"
\header {
title = "Test Layout"
}
chimes = {
\once \omit Staff.TimeSignature
\once \omit Staff.Clef
\stopStaff
s1^\markup \italic "Some text here"
\startStaff
\clef "treble" i\time 3/4 bes'2\mp 4
}
\new PianoStaff
<<
\new Staff="RH" {
\time 4/4
\clef "treble"
\repeat unfold 2 {d'2 f'2 | g'2 bes'2 | }
<<
{ R1 \stopStaff s2.^\markup \wordwrap { \italic \small "A lot
more more text placed in here" } }
\new Staff \with { alignAboveContext="RH" } { \chimes }
>>
}
\new Staff="LH" {
\time 4/4
\clef "bass"
\repeat unfold 20 {g,8[ g,]}
\time 3/4
\repeat unfold 12 {g,8[ g,]}
}
