Greetings.
I'm a long-time user of lilypond. I love it and have used it for my massive
solo pipe organ transcription of a 30-minute movement of a symphony scored for
large orchestra, so I feel like I know my way around Lilypond at an
intermediate level. I don't really delve deeply into the Scheme underpinnings
and such, so I wouldn't consider my self a bona fide power user just yet.
Here's the question.
I'm familiar with the instruction
\context { \Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves }
It completely removes a staff from a system when all it contains is rests or
spaces. It doesn't just hide the ledger lines like \stopStaff. It removes the
staff and everything in it.
Is there a way to tell Lilypond to stop showing a non-empty staff (that
contains notes) and reclaim its space (don't leave an invisible staff taking up
room) after the next line break? Is there also a way to tell Lilypond to begin
redisplaying a staff so hidden and everything in it at the next line break?
This would make it a lot easier to spilt a staff in the middle or a slur or a
tie, for example.
Thanks,
Christopher
