Re: \RemoveEmptyStaves not removing first line

[Rohan Srinivasan]

Thank you - I meant to reply to the list. I have the following:

\version "2.19.82"

\header {

  title = "CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE"

  subtitle = "or, I'VE JUST ARRIVED FROM DIXIE"

  composer = "George H. Coes (1828?-1897)"

}

\paper {

  #(set-paper-size "a4")

}

\layout {

  \context {

    \Voice

    \consists "Melody_engraver"

    \override Stem #'neutral-direction = #'()

  }

}

\layout {

  \context {

    \Staff

    \RemoveAllEmptyStaves

  }

}

paren =

#(define-event-function (parser location dyn) (ly:event?)

   (make-dynamic-script

    #{ \markup \concat {

         \normal-text \italic \fontsize #2 (

\pad-x #0.2 #(ly:music-property dyn 'text)

\normal-text \italic \fontsize #2 )

       }

    #}))

global = {

  \key f \major

  \numericTimeSignature

  \time 2/4

  \partial 8

}

sopranoVoice = \relative c'' {

  \global

  \dynamicUp

  r8 |

  R2*20

  

}

right = \relative c'' {

  \global

  \partial 8 c,8 | 

  c c d8. e16 |

  f8 a r a |

  c[ b bes8. g16] |

  g4. c8 |

  \override DynamicLineSpanner.staff-padding = #3

  d16\f d c d a' g f d |

  c\paren\f c b c g' f c a |

  c\p c b c e d b g

  

  

}

left = \relative c' {

  \global

  \partial 8 r8 |

  \override Beam.damping = #10000 f,,[ <c' f a> <c f a>] r |

  f,[ <c' f a> <c f a>] r |

  c,[ <c' e bes'> <c e bes'>] r |

  f,[ <c' f a> <c f a>] r |

  \undo \override Beam.damping = #10000 

  bes[ <g' bes d> <g bes d>] r | \break

  c,[ <a' c f> <a c f>] r |

  c,[ <g' bes c e> <g bes c e>] r |

  

  

}

sopranoVoicePart = \new Staff \with {

  instrumentName = ""

  \consists "Ambitus_engraver"

} { \sopranoVoice }

pianoPart = \new PianoStaff \with {

  instrumentName = ""

} <<

  \new Staff = "right" \right

  \new Staff = "left" { \clef bass \left }

>>

\score {

  <<

    \sopranoVoicePart

    \pianoPart

  >>

  \layout { }

}

Could any of you give me an example of how \RemoveAllEmptyStaves is used? I have:

\layout {

  \context {

    \Staff

    \RemoveAllEmptyStaves

  }

}

This still doesn't seem to clear the empty staves in the first system.

Please always try to provide a compilable minimal example showing your problem.

\version "2.19.80"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \RemoveAllEmptyStaves
  }
}

<<
  \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Voice" shortInstrumentName = "Voc" } { R1*30 \repeat unfold 80 c'4 }
  \new PianoStaff \with { instrumentName = "Piano" shortInstrumentName = "Pn" } <<
    \new Staff { \repeat unfold 200 c'4 }
    \new Staff { \clef bass \repeat unfold 400 c8 }
  >>
>>

works here:

Best
