Thanks for this response.  I am ashamed to say that I spent several hours trying to figure this out, but somehow I never got the syntax quite right.  Perhaps I'm getting too old for this... David On Fri, 2018-04-06 at 16:09 +0200, David Kastrup wrote: > David Sumbler writes: > > > > > I have s

2018-04-06 Thread David Sumbler
I have spent a long time trying to find the answer to this, but without success. I have a piece with strings divided often into several parts; sometimes these may not be even divisions, for instance where a four-part section has instruments 3 and 4 playing the same music.  I therefore need to show

Hi all, I'll give it another try - I searched a lot on how to left align several instrument names(different staves), but didn't find even a workaround on the list. It seems that Thies' workaround which he posted in Oct 2006 doesn't work anymore. Regards, Michael His post: Here's what I do (
