Hello list,
I am trying to add a line between notes to denote a "staff switch". However, the music is not on a single voice/staff. Problems listed after the snippet.
Here is a snippet of an abstraction of my music:
\score {
\new GrandStaff <<
\new Staff = up \relative c' {
\time 12/8
% glissando
\sectionLabel "glissando"
<b d a'>2.\glissando
<< { \change Staff = down
\voiceOne
\hideNotes
g'4.
\unHideNotes
} \\ {
\voiceTwo
\change Staff = up r4. } >>
<e g a c>
% StaffSwitch
\sectionLabel "staff switch"
\showStaffSwitch
<b d a'>2.
<< { \change Staff = down
\hideNotes
g'4.
\unHideNotes
} \\ {
\change Staff = up
r4. } >>
\hideStaffSwitch
<e g a c>
}
\new Staff = down \relative c, {
\clef bass
<c g' f'>2. <b'' e g>4. r
\resetRelativeOctave c,
<c g' f'>2. <b'' e g>4. r
}
>>
}
I was able to do it when there are only 1 voice (the invisible note voice) but when the rest is added (i believe it is the second voice) problem occurs.
Here are the problems I encountered:
1. glissando: i couldn't not control where it goes when there are multiple voices
2. staff switch: it refuses to show up when there are multiple voices
Attached is a picture of what i wanted (in musescore).
Am I using the wrong tool for this job?
