Hi Kieren,
Thanks for your reaction.
I could not imagine a MWE for this problem. But I can tell you what my “trick'’
is and I can also send you the whole file.
It is Federico Mompou's Prelude No. 9. It begins with 16 bars in normal 2-staff
PianoStaff on 4 systems. Then follow 4 bars in 3-staff PianoStaff on one
system, followed by 12 bars in in normal 2-staff PianoStaff on three systems.
My “trick” is to split the whole into tree separate scores and “concatenate"
them in one _ly.tex - file. (I’m using TeXShop as editor).
It works but for the too short system with the 3-staff PianoStaff. If I could
stretch that a bit it would be OK.
If it is OK with you to send you the complete file I will do that after having
added a few lacking dynamic signs.
Best regards,
Robert
