I've come across many songs where the number of staffs changes in the middle of the song. How is this ideally done? I've found a number of ways to do it . . . but they're not easy, ideal, or what I would call standard (not very reusable; pretty much, I have to spend hours finding a new way every time, unless I want to use multiple scores in the same sheet music).
So, let's say I start out with two staffs: one with a treble clef and one with a bass clef. Then, I need to change to three staffs where the top is treble, with piano accompaniment on a treble and a bass clef staff below. Then, I want to change to a full choir staff where each voice gets its own staff . . . And . . . I want to do this all on one score. Anyway, how do I do this, normally? Or . . . is this not a 'normal' thing to do? Here's a solution I found for changing from a solo staff with a two staff piano accompaniment to a regular hymn-style two staff setup on the chorus: I just didn't continue with the treble clef of the piano accompaniment, and then it sort of happened naturally. However, this would definitely not stand up for a need for more complex staff changes (and adding multiple voices would be a definite problem here, and that's why I had to come up with the solution for my previous post). Anyway, thanks for all the help you can offer! _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
