That's arbitrary. There are no notes, only rests, rehearsel signs, tempi, time changes and these are all the same for the various parts. > I think it's easier to use "s1" (possibly in conjunction with R1 -- > << R1 s1>> > to keep a staff visible. I could hack the input, and replace one R1 by a r1, but then the corresponding staff would also become visible in the complete orchestral score. I think it is a layout problem, which should not be tweaked by changing the musical content. The statement is simple: "do not remove the last (empty) staff", but is the solution also simple? Following your suggestion, I tried to change one R1 into <<R1 s1>>, but then the second system is still invisible. \version "2.7.28" \layout { \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } } partA = \relative c' { R1*10 \mark \default R1*10 \mark \default R1*10 \mark \default R1*10 \mark \default R1*10 \mark \default R1*10 \mark \default c4 r r2 } partB = \relative c' { R1*30 <<R1 s1>> R1*29 d4 r r2 } \score { \new StaffGroup << \new Staff \partA \new Staff \partB >> } Greetings, -- Toine Schreurs _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
