Re: Force printing of Staff symbol

[Mats Bengtsson]

It would much clearer if you included a short example of
what you tried.

If I understand you correctly, you have for example one
stave with music for the full score and you want it
accompanied by a number of empty staves, right?

Then, the easiest I can think of is so include an invisible
copy of the same music also in the other staves, something
like:

melody = {c d e f }

\score{
 \new StaffGroup <<
   \new Staff \melody
   \new Staff {\hideNotes \melody }
   \new Staff {\hideNotes \melody }
 >>
}
