Hi, Andrew:
My (rather simplifed example below) generates an extra stave which I don't want).
That's because you haven't put the \globalpar *inside* another Staff, so Lilypond helpfully (?) instantiates one for you.
Here's the fixed (and even further simplified) example: % BEGIN SAMPLE \version "2.8.5" \include "english.ly" globalpar = { s1 * 2 | \mark \default } continuoLeftMusic = { a1 b c d e f } \score { \context Staff = leftHand << \globalpar \clef bass \continuoLeftMusic >> } % END SAMPLE CODE Hope this helps! Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
