Hi,

After some experimenting a year ago, I started again now with Lilypond 2.6.0 becoming available on Windows (with an easy interface, congratulations!).

In trying to make my first piece, I'd like a first staff for the preamble (voorspel, what's it called?), then from the second line have two staves. I have this now with the following code, but the splitting up in two << >> contexts seems inappropiate.


Definitely! The easiest solution is to take a look at Section
"8.3.2 Hiding staves" in the manual and then figure out how you can
use this feature to get what you want. Hint: Start the second
stave with s1*4 \break

An alternative solution can be found if you browse through the examples
in the "Tips and Tricks" document.

> Also, now the \time

signature is ignored in the second and further staves. So how can I achieve this? By hiding the second stave on the first line, or adding a new stave only at a certain point or...


You mean the setting of Staff.TimeSignature #'style ?
The above solution solves half the problem. However, you may
want to read Section "9.1.5 Changing context default settings".


Some more questions: how to add Unicode in the title (I want ë. TeX-syntax \"e didn't work.)

See Section "8.1.5 Text encoding"

And I'd like a pianostaff-like brace in front of my staves, but adding \pianoStaff messes up the text and all.

Search for "brace" in the "LilyPond Index"

Also, can I suspend a {}-group and continue it later, or do I have to do the first voice in total, then the second. This is a copy of existing music, as you might have guessed, so that would be easier to type.


You might want to use identifiers, see Section "2.18 Organizing larger
pieces"

Thanks Mats, especially for the useful links. It would be nice if there were something similar like the index which covers common issues, such as this single first bar, which is common in folklore music etc.

Cheers, H.
