Hi Vincente, thanks for the suggestion. However, I do not only want to
delete a music expression (which can be tagged), but an entire staff,
namely the tabStaff. I wouldn't know how to create code removing a staff
by tagging it.
you're right. I thought that what you requested could be done with tags
because I once did something similar and there were tags involved.
but I've looked in my file again and found an alternative and perhaps
simpler
way which you may find useful: the trick is to use two different \book
sections;
then Lilypond generates two pdfs in one move, so you don't need to specify
any
condition at all:
%----------------8<--------------------------------------
%
% input file tst.ly generates tst.pdf for the piccolist and tst-1.pdf for
the guitarist
\version "2.12.3"
piccolo = \relative c'' {
c d e f
}
guitar = \relative c' {
a b c d
}
staffPiccolo = \new Staff {
\piccolo
}
staffGuitar = \new Staff
{
\guitar
}
staffTabGuitar = \new TabStaff
{
\guitar
}
\book
{
% creates tst.pdf for the piccolist
<<
\staffPiccolo
\staffGuitar
>>
}
\book
{
% creates tst-1.pdf for the guitarist
<<
\staffPiccolo
\staffGuitar
\staffTabGuitar
>>
}

I hope I've understood you better this time :)
Dmytro's suggestion looks more promising, though I haven't been able to
generate code that does the job so far. When I code
that looks very interesting and can be very useful if you find the way.
greetings,
Vicente
