I am using the template provided in the manual. I have changed the formating of the ChoirStaff a bit, but otherwise it is unchanged. I have attached a reduced version of my current code in a followup post (!?) as it doesn't seem to matter where I put it in this one, I am accused of top-posting! [It seems fine to have a script to check for top-posting, but what if it's wrong?!)
My question is how to override the dynamics on the piano reduction. I would be happy with just -say- the soprano dynamics on the piano score. My inclination is to \remove the Dynamic_Engraver from the relevent voices, but I don't seem to understand the syntax for this. Something like the following with a similar snippet for the bass clef. \new PianoStaff << \new Staff { \clef treble \set Staff.printPartCombineTexts = ##f \partcombine { \context Voice \with { \remove Dynamic_engraver } { \Key \Time \sopranoMusic } { \Key \Time \altoMusic } } } or... \new PianoStaff << \new Staff { \clef treble \set Staff.printPartCombineTexts = ##f \partcombine { \Key \Time \sopranoMusic } { { \context Voice \with{ \remove Dynamic_engraver } \Key \Time \altoMusic } } } I suspect another solution would be to create another music stream with just the dynamics, and only add the soprano to the piano score. I am thinking that I will find it easier to add the dynamics inline with the music, but if this is the only solution... Thanks much. If anyone has the time or inclination, I'm having a hard time figuring out from the manual just what context a \partcombine is. Hence, I am finding it difficult to refer to it's context for \override or \remove. Can it be made into a named context like Staffs and Voices? Also what type of arguments does it take - voices, or music streams, or something else?
