Re: reinstating hidden stave

[Andrew Bernard]

Hello Stan,

This came up as one of my queries a short while ago. It appears to be a surprisingly tricky topic. Have a look back through the archives for the full discussion. Here's the code I came up with. Hope this helps.

\version "2.19.82"

% manual staff hiding and showing .
% must be used with \RemoveEmptyStaves on.

hideStaffWithOnlyRests =
\set Staff.keepAliveInterfaces = #'()

showStaffWithOnlyRests =
\set Staff.keepAliveInterfaces = #'(
                                     bass-figure-interface
                                     chord-name-interface

                                     rest-interface

I am setting a multiverse vocal piece with a piano intro and piano ending. I wish to “French” the score. I am using “\RemoveAllEmptyStaves” to save space, however I want the 5 measures of vocal rest to also be visible at the end to show the repetition.

How can  I revert the “RemoveAllEmptyStaves” instruction to allow this or alternatively, how can removing empty staves be applied to the first stave(s) only?
