Re: Nested StaffGroups

[Ruud van Silfhout]

Hi Aaron,

In the user manual  is a section on orchestral scores. 
Using that I made the following example.  Can this be of any help to you?

\version "2.2.2"
global = \notes { \time 4/4 \key c \major }

\score {
<<
 \new GrandStaff <<
    \new Staff \notes \relative c' { \global c1 c }
    \new Staff \notes \relative c' { \global c c }
  >>
  \new StaffGroup <<
    \new Staff \notes \relative c' { c1 c }
    \new Staff \notes \relative c' { c c }
  >>
  \new Staff \notes \relative c' { \global c1 c }
  \new Staff \notes \relative c' { \global c c }
>>
}

Bye,
Ruud
Regards,
Ruud van Silfhout
