Re: Removing bar connecting grouped staves

[Carl Sorensen]

That is called a SpanBar.  BarLine only exists within a staff.  See the bottom 
of this section of the Notation Reference: 
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/bars#bar-lines

Following the links to SpanBar, and then to span_bar_engraver, you will learn 
that the span_bar_engraver is in the StaffGroup context.

So what we need to do is omit the StaffGroup.SpanBar.

\version "2.19.82"
\score {
     <<
         \new Staff {c'4 d' e' f'}
         \new Staff {c'4. d'4. e'4}
         \new Staff {c'2 d'2}
     >>
     \layout{
         \omit StaffGroup.SpanBar
     }
}

HTH,

Carl

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a diagram using Lilypond and I would like to 
remove the vertical bar connecting a series of grouped staves. This is 
the bar that is in the left hand side of a score and runs through all 
staves, and where instrument names are normally written. Would it be 
possible to hide it somehow?

Below is a minimal example:

\version "2.19.82"
\score {
     <<
         \new Staff {c'4 d' e' f'}
         \new Staff {c'4. d'4. e'4}
         \new Staff {c'2 d'2}
     >>
     \layout{
         \omit Score.BarLine
     }
}

The diagram I am creating has a complex rhythm and I am using a group of 
staves so that the rhythm of each line matches the one above, which is 
why I am trying to use this trick of grouping them and then hiding the 
connecting bar.

Many thanks,
Gilberto
