I'm looking to remove the system start *bar* (rather than the start brace or bracket).

 

Oups, wrong snippet, did not check well enough.. I thought of another one.

How about something like :

\version "2.19.11"

addStartBar = \markup {
  \hspace #-.9
  \lower #.95
  \override #'(thickness . 2)
  \draw-line #'(0 . 3.9)
  \hspace #.2
  \musicglyph #"clefs.G"
}

\score {
  <<
    <<
      \new Staff
        \with {
          \override Clef.stencil = #(lambda (grob)
            (grob-interpret-markup grob addStartBar))
        }
        {
          c'4 d' e' f'
        }
    >>
    \new Staff {
      c'4 d' e' f'
    }
    \new Staff
      \with {
        \override Clef.stencil = #(lambda (grob)
          (grob-interpret-markup grob addStartBar))
      }
      {
        c'4 d' e' f'
      }
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Score
      \omit SystemStartBar
    }
  }
}

Hi Pierre,

Thanks very much. Pasting the system start bar in (as markup) on a staff-by-staff basis works to restore the system start bar before selected staves. But then the system start bar is missing *between* staves. Example below.

%%% BEGIN %%%

\version "2.19.11"

addStartBar = \markup {

  \hspace #-.9

  \lower #.95

  \override #'(thickness . 2)

  \draw-line #'(0 . 3.9) 

  \hspace #.2

  \musicglyph #"clefs.G"

}

\new Score \with {

    \omit SystemStartBar

} <<

    \new Staff {

      c'4 d' e' f'

    }

    \new StaffGroup <<

        \new Staff \with { 

            \override Clef.stencil = #(

                lambda (grob) (grob-interpret-markup grob addStartBar)

                )

        }

        {

            c'4 d' e' f'

        }

        \new Staff \with { 

            \override Clef.stencil = #(

                lambda (grob) (grob-interpret-markup grob addStartBar)

                )

        }

        {

            c'4 d' e' f'

        }

    >>

>>

%%% END %%%

But I really do appreciate seeing your thinking in these snippets; it's definitely helping me work through possibilities.

Trevor.
