Good afternoon everyone, I was attempting to engrave this piece today and I've hit a bit of a roadblock.
Essentially what I'm supposed to do is have the piano break away from it's "normal" grand staff for many measures (15+). Then change to a percussion 1-line staff to notate the various percussion instruments the performer must play as well. Then return to standard piano notation. Is instrument switching possible in Lilypond, with a complete staff-type change? I know you can add labels and change instruments, but I was unsure it a total staff change was possible, temporarily, in a score. http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/notation/writing-parts.html I've done some experiments with instrument switching, but my code doesn't seem to be working - only making things worse. Could anyone possibly point me in the right direction please? Thank you kindly! Note: I just used "dummy notes" in this example, for simplicity, so don't worry much that the notes don't match :) That's not an issue. Ben My goal: (something like this, but ideally the 1-line percussion part would be centered in the grand staff, instead of up near the RH of the piano - but that's flexible if need be) <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n141635/Capture.png> My current code: \version "2.17.10" global = { \key c \major \numericTimeSignature \time 4/4 \tempo "Slow" } right = \relative c'' { \global c4 d e f | R1 | R1 | c4 f g f } left = \relative c' { \global c,4 d e f | R1 | R1 | c4 f g f } <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n141635/how_to_change.png> ----- composer | sound designer -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Instrument-switching-with-a-new-staff-possible-tp141635.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
