Hello,

I am working on typesetting some music examples from a 17th century

book on how to improvise.  I am having trouble figuring out how to

set one example in particular.  The example is showing concords and

discords.  It has an 11 line staff where the lines are spread out to

allow room for notes with interval notations.  I have figured out how

to handle that part.  The example also has a treble, alto, and bass

clef all stacked vertically on the left side of the staff.  The treble

clef is positioned on the 4th line, the alto clef is positioned on the

6th line and the bass clef is positioned on the 8th line.  I am unable

to figure out how to place these 3 clefs.  I can place any one clef

in the proper place but I don't seem to be able to figure out how to

get all 3 clefs placed on the single staff.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would use markup, i.e:

 \override Staff.Clef #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print

   \override Staff.Clef #'text = \markup \column {

      \raise #1.0 {\musicglyph #"clefs.C"}

      \raise #0.0 {\musicglyph #"clefs.C"}

      \raise #-1.0 {\musicglyph #"clefs.C"}

   }
