Re: Instrument switching with a new staff - possible?

[SoundsFromSound]

Just incredible.  This LilyPond community is simply untouchable - /unmatched
/anywhere else on the web, in my experience.

Thank you all for helping me with this - LilyPond keeps blowing my mind!  I
can't stop using it.

I'll tweak this code a bit and it should work out just fine for what I need,
thanks again.
