Re: Create and use a custom staff

[lilypond]

Hello Kieren,

Thanks for your answer. This works partly for me. I would like to add also add
\clef percussion
\numericTimeSignature

or
\override clef percussion
\override numericTimeSignature

within the global defined staff. That seems to be impossible. If these  
properties are defined in the detail declared staff they work fine.
So one kind of property seems to be able to made global, but the other is not.

That is my problem. Is it possible it is a bug?

Thanks again Kieren.

With regards, Bernard
