\score { << \new PianoStaff << \new Staff { c1 c1 } \new Staff { c1 c1 } >> \new Staff { c1 c1 } >> } Note that the second and third staves are no longer connected by barlines. To fix this, you can use a StaffGroup: \score { \new StaffGroup \with { systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartBar } << \new PianoStaff << \new Staff { c1 c1 } \new Staff { c1 c1 } >> \new Staff { c1 c1 } >> } Regards, Nathan _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
