RE: modifying piano templates

[Trevor Daniels]

David

The extract below may help you.  You will need to adjust the number, and 
provide the content, of the variables called \globalStaff and \PianoRHVoiceOneA 
etc.  The parts ...A, ...B, etc contain music in sequence; for example, 
corresponding to different sections, movements or pages.  More voices can be 
added in a similar way as needed.

One of the objectives of the revised documentation is to help users build their 
own templates.  When this is in a state to invite user comments perhaps you 
would be good enough to review it?

\score
  \new PianoStaff 
  << % set up RH and LH piano staves in parallel
