Dear LilyPond users,
I have searched the LilyPond documentation, lilypond-user mailing list
archives and the LilyPond snippet repository---all without success...
The question is: how do I define a BraceStaff that is exactly like a
ChoirStaff, except that braces are used instead of brackets at the start of
systems? In particular, I tried to define the following in my stylesheet
(which gets included into all my documents):
\layout {
\context {
\type "Engraver_group"
\name "BraceStaff"
\alias "ChoirStaff"
\description
"Just like @code{ChoirStaff} but with a brace (SystemStartBrace)
instead of a bracket (SystemStartBraclet) at the start of
each system."
\consists "System_start_delimiter_engraver"
systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartBrace
}
}
\midi {
\context {
\type "Performer_group"
\name "BraceStaff"
\alias "ChoirStaff"
}
}
When compiling a file with these lines, LilyPond 2.10.33 does not complain
about the definitions, but it DOES complain that it cannot find them:
warning: can't find or create new `BraceStaff'
I'm attaching a sample LilyPond document to illustrate this problem. Any
help is appreciated, as this little problem has already taken rather a lot
of hours of my time... :-)
Yours truly,
John Zaitseff
