Here's an image of what I keep getting: http://jeffyepstein.com/tmp/staves_bad.gif
I'm trying to get the "clap" staff above the "voice" staff. Can someone please help me understand how to control the ordering of staves? (I only want the clap staff to appear for the first measure.) This is what I'm trying to get: http://jeffyepstein.com/tmp/staves_good.gif Below is my LY code. Thank you for helping. ----------------------------------------- \version "2.12.2" clap = \new Staff \with { \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1 } \relative c'' { \time 24/8 \set Staff.instrumentName = #"Clap" \teeny \override NoteHead #'style = #'cross r4. b8 r4 r4. b8 r4 r4. b8^"Repeat throughout" r4 r4. b8 r4 | } bla = \relative c'' { \set Staff.instrumentName = #"Voice" \time 24/8 \tempo 4.=80 \override NoteHead #'style = #'cross \repeat volta 2 { b4. r b4. r b4. r4 b8^\markup { \italic \left-column \small { \line{ Quiet first time } \line{ Loud second time } } }~ b4. r4. | } \repeat volta 2 { b4 b8 b4 b8 b4. b b b4 b8~ b4. r4. | } } verseOne = \lyricmode { Bla bloo bla bloo bla dee bla dee bla dee bla dee bla. } \score { \new Staff << \new Voice { \clap } \new Voice = "bla" { \bla } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "bla" { \verseOne } >> \layout { } \midi { } } ----------------------------------------- -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-control-ordering-of-staves--tp22142941p22142941.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
