Hi everybody! I'm new to this list. First of all, I want show all my gratefulness for the existence of such a beautiful program like Lilypond. I'm becoming an enthusiastic user of it... also if my usage isn't so extended. I'm studying it from some weeks and trying to know better how it works. I'm using lilypond version 2.6.3.1 for Linux.
Unfortunately I don't have any experience in Scheme (studied only a bit of LISP some years ago). Perhaps that would be useful to solve a problem which i'm fallen into. I know other people were, from the list archive. But I never found an answer to this, working for my case. Problem concerns applying known command "\RemoveEmptyStaffContext" also to TabStaves. The quoted command acts only on normal Staff objects, and not on TabStaff objects (someone suggested also DrumStaff, I don't know). Others suggested a solution like this (I tried to adapt to my current version, any mistake??): \context { \TabStaff \remove "Axis_group_engraver" \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver" \override Beam #'auto-knee-gap = #'() \override RemoveEmptyVerticalGroup #'remove-first = ##t } [ with version 2.6, I had to correct: - usage of "consistsend": doesn't work, I used "consists"; - not usable in "paper" section: I used in "layout" section; ] That doesn't work for my sheet cause it remove all TabStaff lines! At most, I can show only the first (empty) without "remove-first". Wandering around Lilypond documentation, I figured out that a good solution would be about hacking a bit something in order to correctly set an "internal property". 'Hara_kiri_engraver' create a layout object called 'RemoveEmptyVerticalGroup', that supports the interface 'hara-kiri-group-interface', that contains the internal property 'items-worth-living'. I think that the list defined in that property doesn't contain "TabNoteHeads", while perhaps it should. Finally, my question: there's a way to manipulate also "internal properties" from a .ly source? Or, at least, there's another working method to reach what I aim? Thanx for patience!! Greetings! And good work!! Go on so great!!
