I'm a new Lilypond user coming from an ABC background, and I'm having
problems with StaffGroup. It's my understanding that if I want the two
staves in a duet to be connected (other than at the left edge), I need
to enclose the two staves in a StaffGroup. I found an example or two
which I tried emulating, but got error messages. So I tried pasting in
a sample from the Lilypond user manual:
< \context StaffGroup <
\context Staff = up { e'4 d'
\bar "||"
f' e' }
\context Staff = down { \clef bass c4 g e g } >
\context Staff = pedal { \clef bass c2 c2 } >
I saved this in a file (test.ly) by itself and ran it through ly2dvi,
and still got error messages:
Running LilyPond...

Now processing: `test.ly'

Trying to salvage the rest.

Thanks for any help!
