If a line break happens during a percussion part, maybe use "\clef percussion" plus an override to hide the clef change -- that way a percussion clef shows up at the line break instead of a treble clef. I have no idea how to put the percussion clef between the other two. global = { \key c \major \numericTimeSignature \time 4/4 \tempo "Slow" } right = \relative c'' { \global c4 d e f | R1 | R1 | c4 f g f \stopStaff \once \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(-2 . 2) \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1 \set squashedPosition = #0 \xNotesOn \startStaff c4 c4 c4 c4 | c4 c4 c4 c4 | c4 c4 c4 c4 \stopStaff \revert Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-count \unset squashedPosition \xNotesOff \startStaff c4 d4 e4 f4 | g4 r4 r2 } left = \relative c' { \global c,4 d e f | R1 | R1 | c4 f g f \stopStaff s1*3 \startStaff c4 d4 e4 f4 | g4 r4 r2 } \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff \right \new Staff { \clef bass \left } >> \layout { \context { \Voice \consists "Pitch_squash_engraver" } } } Regards, Nathan
