So what do you think? Should the "SmallStaff" just
be left as a snippet?
If it is a snippet ideally I'd want to do something like:
\include "small_staff.lyi"
\score {
\new SmallStaff {...}
}
How would one make small_staff.lyi so this worked? This way it would
be bundled with the other global variables. The only way I found was
to do this:
small_staff.lyi
=====
\context {
\Score
\accepts "SmallStaff"
}
\context {
\Staff
\type "Engraver_group"
\name "SmallStaff"
\alias "Staff"
fontSize = #-3
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3)
}
As the discussion here seems to be stuck, I want to push it a bit :)
I'm not keen on including this in the sources
as it is not a complete solution. For example,
it does not permit scaled lyrics to be attached
to a voice in the staff, as might be required
in an ossia or piano reduction. For that you
would need a scaled StaffGroup and a scaled
PianoStaff. And what about scaled chords, etc?
The present documented method using \with
is cumbersome but general.
