Re: Nested PianoStaffs - show inner brace only

[Michael Werner]

Hi WIlliam.  Maybe give this a shot:

\version "2.24.0"

\score {
  \new PianoStaff
  <<
    \set PianoStaff.systemStartDelimiterHierarchy
    = #'(SystemStartBar (SystemStartBrace a (b)))
    \new Staff \relative c' {c8 des ees f g a b c } % right hand
    \new Staff \relative c' {bes8 aes fis c d e f g} % left hand
    \new Staff \relative c { \clef bass cis8 d e d c b a g } % pedal
  >>
  \layout {
    \context { \Staff \accidentalStyle piano }
  }
}

For an explanation, see the Nesting Staves snippet at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/displaying-staves

Happy New Year!

Dear list,

Organ music is typically engraved on three staves with the top two
connected by a piano brace.

I would like combine all three staves in a PianoStaff (so that all three
are modified by the piano accidental style) and omit the outer
pianostaff bracket. However, I was wondering how to show the inner piano
brace, as shown in the minimal example below.

Thank you in advance,
