Re: Divided parts

[Mats Bengtsson]

You have actually answered your own question (thanks, I wasn't aware of
the collapse-height property before). However, I don't know what the
default setting of this property is intended to do.  Since an ordinary stave
is 4 units high, you have to set this property larger than so, for example:

LilyPond hackers: Shouldn't the default value be 5, or did I miss the point
of the current default value?
(The default value for SystemStartBrace #'|collapse-height is 5)|

\score {
  \new StaffGroup {
      <<
          \partI
          \partII
      >>
  }

  \layout {
      indent = 0\cm
      \context {
          \RemoveEmptyStaffContext
          \override RemoveEmptyVerticalGroup #'remove-first = ##t
      }
     \context{
       \StaffGroup
       \override SystemStartBracket #'collapse-height = #5
     }
  }
}
