I think it works fine as it is right now. I guess in classical music it's typical not to reduce the piano part to a single staff, but in modern music it is. For example in Jazz scores if you have only a chord progression with nothing specific to play a single staff is sufficient for the pianist. Or if you write for bands who play latin american music, the piano player often doubles the right hand with the left hand an octave lower. A latin pianist knows that and therefore needs only a single staff.
When I write scores I try to reduce as much as possible, sometimes I even write both hands in one staff as long it is readable. This is not so much for the entire score but for the individual part later. Especially the piano part gets usually twice as much sheets as a wind player for example. Well, I guess everyone has an own way to do it, so I also agree that both options should be available. regards, Tao -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Sun, 26 Aug 2007 21:59:20 +0200 > Von: "Valentin Villenave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > An: "Neil Puttock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > CC: lilypond-user@gnu.org > Betreff: Re: Hara_kiri_engraver shouldn\'t handle both staves of a PianoStaff > as separate single staves > 2007/8/26, Neil Puttock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hi Neil, > > > the engraver admitting defeat [...] > > Stravinsky: 1 > Engraver: 0 :-D > > Has anyone given my dirty Scheme function a try? > > Valentin > > > _______________________________________________ > lilypond-user mailing list > lilypond-user@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
