Completely separate staff

[Fabian Binz]

Hi,

 

how can I add a completely separate staff to my score? I want to display a single separate line below all other lines, which is not synchronized with or somehow related to the rest of the music. I tried the following (where someChords, melody, text and separateLine are defined elsewhere):

 

\score {

                <<

                               \chords { \someChords }

                               { \melody }

                               \addlyrics { \text }

                >>

                { \separateLine }

}

 

I also tried several other variations, i.e putting { \separateLine } in its own << >>, but of course none worked.

 

I’m sure that there is a way, but I just don’t see it. I’d be glad, if someone could give me a hint.
