Re: Question about condensed score

[Rip _Mus]

Thanks for sharing your workflow, that's what I was afraid I'd have to do.

While waiting for other possible answers, I would like to ask you what problems, if any, your approach presents when you go to elaborate the parts.

Subject: Question about condensed score

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

Usually when I need split staves in some place and combined staves in others,

I use a score with 3 staves: one for each single staff, and then one combined staff.

For the pages where you want combined, both single staves are empty.

And for the pages where you want split staves, the combined staves are empty.

Then use \RemoveEmptyStaves to get rid of the empty staves

The issue with this approach in your case is that 

you want the combined staff to show only when there are rests, 

so in order to get those to print, you would need to add something 

to the combined staff so that it was not empty.

I tend to use an invisible dynamic like \tweak stencil ##f \mp

HTH,
