Re: sophisticated SystemStartBar callback needed

Why do you need the line at all?  I've never seen a vocal score anything like that, and I have seen quite a few.  Gould says it shouldn't be there.  Soloists = single line on the left.  Chorus = bracket.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the response!

Others might have understood this, but I haven't.  Any chance of a mocked up image of what you want?

Sorry: too busy slamming out notes.  =)

But here's a screenshot of what I'm getting with soloists plus chorus (this is exactly as desired):

And here's the result when there are no soloists in the [frenched] system:

In this latter situation, I want the straight bar (which is only present to connect soloists to the chorus in a "vocals group") to vanish.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,

Kieren.
