I have the following score, which has a single instrument, cello. There is a couple bars where I wanted to add a staff to write out a riff that had some polyrhythmic things happening at large intervals.
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "first"
{ \voiceOne \clef treble
aes8 ges8 <bes aes>16 <bes ges>16 d16 <bes des aes> g\harmonic\f r16 aes16
}
\new Voice= "second"
{ \voiceTwo \clef bass \tuplet 3/2{ r4 <d,, g> r4 } r8 eih8 r16 \xNote <c g>16
}
>>
The problem is that I would like
A) the second staff to go away after the ">>" symbol"
B) I would like the first voice to be engraved on the top original staff, and not simply above the new bass staff. Currently it prints the two voices on and above the bass staff alone leaving my original treble staff blank for these couple bars.
I appreciate your help!
