I think you misunderstood. If you allow Score to accept NullVoice, you don't need to explicitly instantiate a Staff, you can just do it the way you initially wanted. On Fri, Sep 20, 2024 at 11:01 PM Walt North wrote: > thanks. So far no luck. I'm giving up for the night. Get back it > tomor

Sorry to be a pest I'm probably  just not getting the syntax correct.  I've tried this a couple of ways. To be clear this is a sample to demonstrate the question. Not what the actual score is. \version "2.24.2" \language "english" \layout {   indent = 0   \context {     \NullVoice

Another way to get the extra Staff not to appear is to add the following to your \layout block: \context { \Score \accepts NullVoice } As an aside directed more at the dev community: is there any good reason not to make this the default behavior (and similar for StaffGroup, etc.)? Nul

First - the example I sent is a stripped down sample just to demonstrate the question I have. For the actual score the intent is two fold. Intent one. The resulting score may be used by multiple instruments and vocalists.  In the case of the guitar player they only need the lyrics and chords

The easiest way to get the staff not to appear would be to put NullVoice inside a Staff or similar context that you want to appear. On Fri, Sep 20, 2024 at 8:19 PM Walt North wrote: > Thanks, that took care of the alignment. > > However now I see an empty staff. Is it expected I would then have

My understanding is that Devnull is not intended for alignment of lyrics because it does not have the necessary engraver to create the invisible grobs used for alignment. It appears to me in your example that actually the lyrics are just being spaced evenly without alignment to anything. Nullvoice
