Dear Lilypond community,
Please excuse my question, I am new to Lilypond. I work on a Mac 10.3.9
and
operate with version "2.11.56-1".
I've been looking at the page concerning "adding extra staves" and
although
I find the example clear, but it's also insufficient because as soon as I
want to write quicker note values within the middle stave, they tend not
to
get engraved in the bar with "3-staves".
Since I'm currently typing up a piano score I wanted to test out the trick
in a PianoStaff. So, my code looks like this:
\version "2.11.56-1"
\score {
<<
\new PianoStaff <<
\relative c''
\new Staff {
\time 4/4 g8 a b c d c b a %scale 1
gis ais c des es des c bes %scale 2
a b cis d e d cis b %scale 3
c d e f g f e d %scale 4
es f g aes bes aes g f %scale 5
}
\new StaffGroup \relative c'' {
\new Staff { r1 gis4 gis gis gis
<< a1 \new Staff { \once \override Staff.TimeSignature
#'stencil
= ##f a8 g a g a g a g } >>
c4 c c c }
}
>>
>>
}
This works, and I am happy !
However whenever I type in more notes into the middle bar, it bunches all
those notes into the first quarter i.e.:
<< aes8 ges aes ges aes ges aes ges \new Staff { \once \override
Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f a8 g a g a g a g } >>
these didn't work either:
<< aes8 \new Staff { \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
a8
g a g a g a g } ges8 aes ges aes ges aes ges >>
<< aes \new Staff { \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f a8
g
a g a g a g } >> ges8 aes ges aes ges aes ges
I tried this out in the previous version I was using , which was "2.10.33"
and that didn't work. Where should I type the notes for the middle bar ?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
