You could create the Staff (and Voice) contexts, keeping them alive with some long enough spacer duration; then you create for each note that is the same in all voices a simultaneous expression that writes the note in the already existing context: \relative c' << \new Staff = "1" \new Voice = "1" s1*5 \new Staff = "2" \new Voice = "2" s1*5 \new Staff = "3" \new Voice = "3" s1*5 \new Staff = "4" \new Voice = "4" s1*5 { << \context Staff="1" \context Voice = "1" c4 \context Staff="2" \context Voice = "2" c( \context Staff="3" \context Voice = "3" c \context Staff="4" \context Voice = "4" c >> << \context Staff="1" \context Voice = "1" d4 \context Staff="4" \context Voice = "4" d >> << \context Staff="1" \context Voice = "1" e \context Staff="3" \context Voice = "3" e \context Staff="4" \context Voice = "4" e >> << \context Staff="1" \context Voice = "1" f \context Staff="2" \context Voice = "2" f) \context Staff="4" \context Voice = "4" f >> } >> \layout { \context { \Staff \remove "Bar_engraver" \remove "Time_signature_engraver" \override Stem #'transparent = ##t } } etc. But I think using 's' notes (spacers) or scaled durations is much simpler. best regards, Wilbert Berendsen -- Frescobaldi, LilyPond editor for KDE: http://www.frescobaldi.org/ Nederlands LilyPond forum: http://www.lilypondforum.nl/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
