Re: CrossStaff and Dynamics

[Paul Hodges]

Your snippet doesn't include the Span_stem_engraver, so I guess you lost that when adding the Dynamics.  Here is an extracted part of the score of that I am just now working on, with /lots/ of cross-staff joins as well as central dynamics:

\score {

  <<

    \new PianoStaff \with {

      \consists "Span_stem_engraver"

    } 

    <<

      \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = \markup\bold"Piano I"

      \new Staff = "priRH" { \clef treble \IpriRH }

      \new Dynamics = "priDy" \IpriDy

      \new Staff = "priLH" { \clef bass \IpriLH }

    >>

  >>

}

Subject: CrossStaff and Dynamics

Hello

I am using CrossStaff and everything worked fine.

But after following a snippet that suggest adding the dynamics as an independent voice of spaces:

\score {
  \new PianoStaff = "PianoStaff_pf" <<
    \new Staff = "upper" << \upper >>
    \new Dynamics = "dynamics" \dynamics
    \new Staff = "lower" <<  \lower >>
  >>

}

the beams are no longer connected.

Is there any way to overcome this problem?

The idea of using a dynamic "voice" was to get all dynamics middle-aligned between them...

Thank you for any hint,

Alberto
