In my opinion, the simplest way to do this is to
use the following:
\layout {
\context
{
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext
\override
VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
}
}
which gets rid of staves with no information in
them, and then fill the staves with Whole Measure Rests (WMRs) except where you
have the music. A couple of line beaks to get the right line length, and
you're done.
You can put multiple WMRs in one piece of notation
by writing R1*x/y*z, where x/y is the time signature, and z the number of WMRs
you want.

Subject: Instantiating temporary staves
with text
Hello everybody,
I'm currently trying to produce a piece
that is mostly on two staves, but at the end splits briefly into four staves
and then back into two. I'm doing it by adding the extra staves to the top
staff for those few bars and forcing line breaks so that it looks neat on the
page. Everything goes fine until I try to add lyrics to the third line from
the top (the line with the tenor clef) - using the \addlyrics command makes
everything go haywire - the lyrics appear below the bass staff, staves cut off
mid-page and the last section of the melody turns into chords instead of
single notes. Commenting out the line of lyrics code fixes everything again,
so as far as I can see it's purely the addition of the lyrics that causes the
problem.
I've reproduced the last few systems in a minimum (!) example
to demonstrate, but because there's still a lot of formatting I've included
the files as attachments. I hope that's OK. The only difference between the
-right and -wrong .txt files is the commenting out of the \addlyrics command
for the tenor staff.
I guess my question is: am I doing something
wrong? Or is there a better way to do instantiate temporary staves than
this?
Thanks for any help,
Brent.
