Usually when I work with multiple staves, I keep time sig, key sig, and
tempo changes separate from the music.
I upgraded to 2.2.4, and I started experimenting with the alternative
way of defining instruments.
Old:
\context Staff = "flauti" <<
\set Staff.midiInstrument = #"flute"
\set Staff.instrument = \markup { \center-align <
"Flauto I." > }
\set Staff.instr = \markup { \center-align < "Fl." > }
\barlines
\theFlutes >>
New:
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrument = \markup { "Flauti" }
\set Staff.instr = \markup { Fl. }
\set Staff.midiInstrument = #"flute"
\barlines
\new Voice { \Flute }
}
\barlines contains key/time/tempo changes, like this:
barlines = \notes {
\override Score.MetronomeMark #'transparent = ##t
\override Score.TupletBracket #'bracket-visibility = ##f
\override Score.TextScript #'font-magnification = #1.25
\set Score.skipBars = ##t
\time 3/4
\key g \major
s2.*17
\time 6/8
}
Originally, the music and \barlines would tie in perfectly. With the
changes in definition, lilypond now puts \barlines in front in the form
of white space, and then the music follows normally. Any recommendations
as to how to avoid this problem?
