Changing StaffSymbol's line-count

[Fabian Binz]

Hi,

 

some time ago I asked how to embed a RhythmicStaff into a “normal” Staff. I was pointed to \improvisationOn/Off, which worked for the moment. Unfortunately, now I really want to have some kind of RhythmicStaff inside a normal Staff, so I again tried to find a way to do it and found the StaffSymbol object, which has the line-count property.

 

To apply the line-count change I did the following:

 

… music …

\override Staff.StaffSymbol #’line-count = #1

… music …

\override Staff.StaffSymbol #’line-count = #5

… music …

 

But this seems to be having no effect at all – not even an error message when compiling.

 

(How) can I use that property to get the desired effect?

 

Greetings,

Fabian
