That would likely be optimal. You can use \layout { \context { \Score \remove Footnote_engraver } \context { \Staff \consists Footnote_engraver } } to have the footnote appear only in a single Staff, at the cost of not being able to annotate any objects above Staff level. If one found a good way for removing the duplicates, it might even be feasible to have the Footnote_engraver in more than one level. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
