Re: Question about condensed score

[Rip _Mus]

In fact, sadly, I haven't found any trace of this in the documentation.

I imagined a solution, a bit like a programmer, but I don't know how to implement yet.

The idea is to be able to change the instrumentName conditionally:

- if the staffGroup contains less than two staves (because one of them is hidden to create the condensed score), the instrumentName of the staffGroup is "fl. 1-2" and the instrumentName of the two staves is '();

- otherwise, the instrumentName of the staffGroup is '() and the instrumentName of the two staves is "fl.1" and "fl. 2".

Unfortunately, to achieve this, I need a little more knowledge than I have...

Perhaps I'm mistaken, and if so, I'm certain will correct me, but I believe lilypond isn't able to do this. You would need three staves, one each for the individual parts and on common one for both, manually assign music to the appropriate staves, and insert breaks where necessary.

Thank you Knute,

I already know how to hide empty staves.

The point is to condense only during the rests, changing the name of the staves.  When they are separated each staff should have its own name ("fl. 1" - "fl. 2"), while when they are condensed they should show a unique name ("fl. 1-2"), perhaps next to the bracket of the staffGroup .

I just don't know yet if it's feasible and how.

This part of the documentation will probably help you:

Good morning everyone!

I would like to ask if you know a strategy to achieve the following result.

I'm working on an orchestral score. I'd like the two flute staves to be shown separate when they play, while condensed when both are silent (perhaps with a staff name showing the indication "fl. 1-2").

Could you help me get this result?

Thank you
