Re: Adding a four-part refrain after a melody piece?

[Tom Dickson]

That works great! 

The only problem I am having is combining the new \context with my existing one:

        \layout {
                \context {
%                       \Score
%                       \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
                        \RemoveEmptyStaffContext
                        \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
                }
        }

If I remove the comments it gives me an error.
