Re: Switching on/off instrument staff

[Robert Schmaus]

In addition to the suggested way with tags (which surely works, but
which I find overly complicated), a simpler way would be to simply place
the Staffs in variables and comment out the ones you don't want to have
in the next engraving. Like this:

violinStaff = \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Violin" }{
            \relative c'' { c4 d e f }
        }

celloStaff = \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Cello" }{
            \relative c { c4 d e f }
        }

\score{
    <<
      \violinStaff
      \celloStaff
    >>
}

IMO there's no need for a complicated tag structure, just go for a
simple approach. You will want to use a variable structure for any
non-trivial score anyway ...

Best, Rob
