My case is like: chorus = \relative c' { c4 d e f | g a b } verse = \relative c'' { \partial 4 c4 | d e d c | } \new Staff { \new Voice = "mel" { \chorus } \new Voice = "vs" {\verse} } So actually \bar "|" does just what I needed all along! Thanks. Now on to my next exercise -- working out how to print capo chords in parentheses after the regular chord, so I get: (capo 3) C (A) G7 (E7) The nearest I can find is at http://www.mail-archive.com/lilypond-user@gnu.org/msg24850.html, but that does them on different rows and without parentheses. -- Tim Rowe _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
