I'm trying to set an SATB hymn with separate vocal staves and a piano accomp. duplicating the voice parts (sop. - stem up, alto - stemdown etc.) Where do you insert \stemUp or \stemDown? Also, I would like to have a bracket for the vocal parts. The other problem is
when I type cis for c sharp or fis for f sharp, I get "string error". I have been through the tutorial and have searched the documentation. The only reference to "bracket" was for tuplets. I cannot find an example of SATB/piano accomp. with separate vocal staves and
polyphonic parts for piano (hymn-style) within the documentation or in mutopia. I found the hymn on westgallerymusic which I can recommend.
