Guess I have some homework tonight!

 

Thank you.

Hello,

 

In a response to my query about creating ties over explicit voices, Mike Solomon (thank you!) provided the following:

\layout {

\context { \Voice \remove "Tie_engraver" }

\context { \Staff \consists "Tie_engraver" }

}

 

This provided the desired ties in one staff of a Piano Staff, yet draw some unwanted (though explainable) ones in the other.

Can these commands be altered or relocated to affect only one staff, and not the other, of a Piano staff?

 

Thank you for your kind attention.

 

Mark

 

You can create custom contexts that derive from Staff - one with this tie trick and one without.
