Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows how to add empty staves to a score in the middle. I realize this may not be possible and my best option is to use the following wherever I want to add staves:
<<
\new Staff {
\once \omit Staff.TimeSignature
s1*5
}
>>
I have two voices and a piano, but my teacher wanted me to add empty staves in the middle for corrections. He wanted two systems on a page with two empty staves in the middle. If I use the above in the left hand of the piano part it just extends the piano bracket over it. I wasn't sure if there was another way.
girl = {
R1*4
}
up = {
a4 b c d
}
down = {
<<
\new Staff {
\once \omit Staff.TimeSignature
s1*5
}
>>
fis4 fis fis fis
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "girl" { \autoBeamOn \girl \accidentalStyle modern-voice-cautionary }
>>
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "croc" { \autoBeamOn \croc \accidentalStyle modern-voice-cautionary }
>>
\new PianoStaff <<
\set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano"
\new Staff = "up" { \up \autoBeamOff }
\new Staff = "down" { \down }
>>
>>
}
I hope this makes sense and I'm sorry if my code is screwed up. I took stuff out so it was easier to read and understand what I was attempting.
