Hi all,
Yet another situation (see thread
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2015-04/msg00274.html) where I
want to force a grob to appear, but can’t seem to find a way to do it…
I have a percussion staff containing music for a single player who switches
between pitched and unpitched instruments. Gould confirms my intuition/desire
in this case: “A key signature must be added if a treble or bass clef is
introduced for a new instrument after a non-pitched percussion clef” (pg. 276).
However, while I can easily \hide (or \omit) the KeySignature when the
instrument is unpitched, I can’t seem to force the KeySignature to appear when
the clef changes to a “pitched clef”. As with the thread mentioned above, I’d
rather not add a \key \default to the content, since this is a
presentation-layer issue that I would, if possible, prefer to solve in the
presentation (edition-engraver) layer.
Any hints on how I can do this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kieren.
