This works for me: Percb = \new DrumStaff \with { \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1 } { \set Staff.instrumentName = "Percb " c2 b a1 \bar "|." } You shouldn't try to put a new Staff inside a new Voice, that doesn't make sense. > 2.

Not possible with this technique you are using: \new StaffGroup \keepWithTag #'score \music where \music contains all the definitions including \new Staff etc. The StaffGroup block puts a bracket over the new staves you declare inside of it. Once you have put everything into a group, it's impossible to put back some of them outside it. > 3. How do I add piano braces to the left of the piano staves?
