Hi all, I've attached an improved version of the file here. It now handles single-staff situations (as when, for example, you remove non-active staves using \RemoveEmptyStaves), and it deals properly with name placement when a name relates to a grouping of staves (a piano part, for example). Tha

Luca I agree and thanks. I made a change that keeps the natural slur. My original thought "problem" is the inconsistency when it is drawn above or below ... and this varies on stem direction as well. In guitar music with all voices on a single clef this gets quite cramped. Hence my idea of just ha

SATB polyphonic lyrics problems

I am brand new to Lilypond. I have tried and tried to figure out how to code SATB four staves of polyphony with different notes, durations and lyrics, but while I am close, some of the lyrics fall to the very bottom of the score and will not stick to the staff that I want them to. Sorry if the exa
