Re: Positioning new staff

[Hwaen Ch'uqi]

Greetings Paul,

It would be best to see a code example. However, I have done this
several times. You need to give the lower staff of the first piano a
name, and then tell that temporary staff to be placed under that named
context. Here is a template for just one piano, where staves are added
above and below:

    \score {
      \new PianoStaff <<
        \new Staff = up {
          \relative c' {
            MUSIC
            <<
              \new Voice {
                \oneVoice MORE MUSIC
              }
              \new Staff \with {
                alignAboveContext = #"up"
              }
              {
              ADDED STAFF
              }
            >>
          }
        }
            \new Staff = down {
          \relative c' {
            MUSIC
            <<
              \new Voice {
                \oneVoice MORE MUSIC
              }
              \new Staff \with {
                alignBelowContext = #"down"
              }
              {
              ADDED STAFF
              }
            >>
          }
        }
      >>
    }

hth,
