that's because you use a PianoStaff and the /Keep_alive_together_engraver/ is integrated with this - so when one staff has nothing but the other has, both staves keep alive. if both staves have no notes, the whole pianostaff would be removed. to change this behavior add /\remove Keep_alive_together_engraver/ in the \layout or \with block Eluze -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Strange-polyphonic-behavior-tp146586p146590.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
