just a basic start: right = \relative c'' { \global c4 d e f | \stopStaff \override Staff.StaffSymbol.line-positions = #'(-8) \override NoteHead.style = #'cross \startStaff \repeat unfold 3 \relative {a4 a a a } | %% you can probably also change to drummode here \stopStaff \revert Staff.StaffSymbol.line-count \revert Staff.StaffSymbol.line-positions \revert NoteHead.style \startStaff \notemode { c4 f g f } } left = \relative c' { \global \clef bass c,4 d e f | \stopStaff s1 | s1 | s1 | \startStaff c4 f g f } \new PianoStaff << \right \left >> does this help? if you figure out a a good way to accomplish what you describe above could you publish the final solution!? thanks Eluze -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Instrument-switching-with-a-new-staff-possible-tp141635p141639.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
