Re: Score staff order

[Jonathan Kulp]

When this error appears it's normally something like a missing curly brace. I can't try to compile your example b/c I don't have all of the source, but it looks like there might be un-terminated grandstaves near the bottom--see where I put comments below...

I am working on typesetting Pavane pour une infante Defunte by Ravel but am having trouble with the score layout. It is as follows:

\score {

\new StaffGroup <<

\new Staff { \global \flutes }

\new Staff { \global \hautbois }

\new Staff { \global \clarinettes }

\new Staff { \global \cors }

\new PianoStaff <<

\set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"1 Harpe "

I get this error when compiling:

# -*-compilation-*-

Anyone know what my error is? I have checked the syntax many times and have tried adjusting the pianostaff's contents but nothing has worked out for my benefit.
