Hi again, > In cases like this, I generally \quoteDuring the global and just add a single > chunk to the music for that instrument:
e.g. %%% SNIPPET BEGINS \version "2.25.11" global = { \key c \major s1*4 \bar "||" \mark \default \time 3/4 \key d \major s2.*4 \bar "||" \mark \default \time 4/4 \key e \major s1*4 \bar "|." } tacetAlFine = { \omit Score.TimeSignature \time 4/4 \override MultiMeasureRest.expand-limit = 0 \override MultiMeasureRest.minimum-length = 16 \override MultiMeasureRestText.padding = #1 R1^\markup \bold "Tacet al fine" \bar "|." } tuba = { \clef bass c,,4-. r r2 R1*3 R2.*4 R1*4 } tubaPart = { << \global \tuba >> } \addQuote "tubaPart" \tubaPart \markup "Full Tuba part:" \tubaPart \markup \vspace #4 \markup "“Tacet” Tuba part:" \new Staff { \clef bass \quoteDuring "tubaPart" s1 \tacetAlFine } %%% SNIPPET ENDS Hope that helps!
