Re: BRICK WALL

I don't know how much help my suggestion is, but I've run into a similar 
situation. Could it be that the paper is the wrong size? Or, more 
importantly in the same line of reasoning, could the line width be too long 
for the given page size?

One time I was trying to get my music onto 6 by 9 inch pages, so I tried 
this code:

\paper {
   paper-width = 6\in
   paper-height = 9\in
}

When I rendered the rest of my music, I could see only the middle of my 
music, because the line width was still based on the A4 (default) paper 
size. I had to add a line width declaration to the paper block, like this:

   line-width = 5\in

Then it worked.

This may not be the problem at all, because reading your post again, I 
realized that you would have noticed if measures were falling off the 
page... in your case, they were just not getting rendered.

Another thought... maybe you should group those staves with \ChoirStaff 
instead of \GrandStaff... just a thought.

I guess I should try running your example. ^_^
