Re: Beginner problem with PianoStaff

[Jonathan Kulp]

Hi Don,

When I ran your code it worked (i.e. didn't crash Lilypond) but I'm not 
using the same version.  You're using a pretty old version.  Running it 
on 2.11.56 worked fine.  I've adjusted things just a bit to put them in 
a more usual order (this is something that's very hard to get used to 
when you first start using Lilypond).  Try running this modified version 
of your code and see if it helps.  It looks a bit funny seeing the bass 
octaves in the right hand, but if that's how it's supposed to be then no 
problem.  If they're supposed to be in the left hand then just switch 
the notes from one staff to the other.  Good luck,

Jonathan


\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff \relative c' {     
    \time 4/4
    \clef bass
     <g, g'>8 <a a'> <b b'> <c c'> <d d'> <e e'> <f f'> r
  }

  \new Staff \relative c' {     
    \clef bass
    \time 4/4
    R1
    \clef treble
    <e' c>8 r <e c> r <f d>4 <e c>8. e16
  }
