\stopStaff

[Sean Reed]

hi,

since i hadn't seen a reply to this yet, maybe i formulated the  
question unclearly.

\stopStaff doesn't seem to work for me at the very beginning of a  
piece. everywhere else later in the piece it seems to work fine.

when used at the beginning of the piece, only the lines of very first  
note are hidden, no matter how long the passage is before the next  
\startStaff is used.

is this a known problem, or am i using it wrong?
sorry if i missed something in the archives where this was already  
mentioned.
i found nothing in the news or archives of the lists that seemed to  
address this specifically.

thanks again.
