Hi, I'm a Lilypond beginner, so sorry if this is a really basic query.
I've managed to produce 4-part vocal music - really useful!!!
However, I've got something that has a sop solo and 7 choral parts,
which I'd prefer on separate staves, since they're quite clashy. I've
tried to extrapolate from successful 4-part stuff, and ended up with
the text file below (notes are currently just random for test
purposes). But the pdf this creates has the 7 choir parts first, then
the solo line and lyrics with blank clefs at the right pitch (I'm not
worried that the double stave looks a bit funny, and I don't even need
the choir words really, since they're just humming).
Can anyone help me sort this out please???
Cheers
Roz
