Re: Getting rid of initial brace on piano score

[Peter Toye]

David,

Thanks very much for this very fast answer.

But two things:

1) I get a syntax error

2) Your message implies that you think I want to get rid of the second brace. That's not the case - I want to get rid of the first one if possible. If I can't it's no great problem - I have to be more careful with the scissors!

This should be a case where \alterBroken would work, though not without some ugliness.  The following _expression_ removes the stencil on the second line as expected, though the stencil is positioned further from the staff: ..\alterBroken stencil  #`(#f ,(lambda (grob) (ly:system-start-delimiter::print grob)))  Score.SystemStartBrace Here's another way: \score {  \new PianoStaff  <<    \alterBroken #'transparent #'(#t) Score.SystemStartBrace    \new Staff = "right" \right    \new Staff = "left" { \clef bass \left }  >> } --David
