Re: Barlines between staffs

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's clearly not valid syntax. See section "Defining new contexts" for more
information on how to do it. However, a much easier method to get different
versions of the Lyrics context is to use the \with feature described in
"Modifying context plug-ins", i.e. something like

\score {
 <<
    \new StaffGroup {
     <<
       \new Staff { \override Staff.BarLine #'transparent = ##t "music" }
       \context Lyrics = SopraanLyrics { s1 }
       \new Staff { \override Staff.BarLine #'transparent = ##t "music" }
       \context Lyrics = AltLyrics { s1 }
       \new Staff { \override Staff.BarLine #'transparent = ##t "music" }
       \context Lyrics = TenorLyrics { s1 }
       \new Staff { \override Staff.BarLine #'transparent = ##t "music" }
       \context Lyrics = BasLyrics \with{\remove Bar_engraver } { s1 }
     >>
    }
 >>
}

\layout {
 \context {
    \Lyrics {
      \consists "Bar_engraver"
      \override BarLine #'transparent = ##t
      \consists "Separating_line_group_engraver"
    }
  }
}


Just as Eduardo, I have not spent the time to fill in actual music and 
lyrics to
be able to test the idea. However, I would expect that this solution 
does not
exactly solve your problem, since the bass lyrics will not avoid the bar 
lines.
Note also that there was a typo in the \layout block of the original code.
