I have found the following workaround:
\version "2.12.2" \layout { \context { \Score \remove "Bar_number_engraver" } % \context { % \RemoveEmptyStaffContext % } } \relative c' << \new Staff \with { \consists "Bar_number_engraver" \override BarNumber #'break-visibility = #all-visible } { e4 f g a ^ \markup { "Text above bar number" } e4 f g a \break R1 \break a4 b c2 } \new Staff \with { \remove "Axis_group_engraver" \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver" \override Beam #'auto-knee-gap = #'() \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-empty = ##t } { c,4 d e f c,4 d e f \break b1 \break R1 } >> It removes \RemoveEmptyStaffContext from the layout and applies the RemoveEmptyStaffContext settings defined in engraver-init.ly to all but the first staff. This is not exactly what I wanted because the first staff is never removed but in this way bar numbers are always displayed. If anyone has a better solution... comments welcome! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/RemoveEmptyStaffContext-und-Bar_number_engraver-tp33136191p33161022.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
