Hi List (again),
here's another question, more general: I have a piano part in which the upper voice is to have one key signature, the lower to retain another one (namely, the right hand has \key c \major, while the left hand has \key es \major, which was also declared at the start of the piece). Something like this:
\version "2.19.36"
beambreakOn = {
\set subdivideBeams = ##t
\set baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1/8)
\set beatStructure = #'(2 2 2 2)
}
beambreakOff = {
\set subdivideBeams = ##f
\set baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1/8)
\set beatStructure = #'(2 2 2 2)
}
rhMusic = \relative c'' {
\key es \major
\time 4/8
r16 bes d bes d bes d bes |
\key c \major
\beambreakOn \tuplet 3/2 { es,\( f g } \tuplet 3/2 { a b cis } dis4\) |
}
lhMusic = \relative c {
\clef bass
\key es \major
\time 4/8
<<
{ r16 d f d f d f d | }
\\
{ bes2 | }
>>
\key es \major
<<
{ es,16 bes' es bes g' d g d | }
\\
{ es,2 | }
>>
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "RH" <<
\rhMusic
>>
\new Staff = "LH" <<
\lhMusic
>>
>>
}
------------
My issue is as follows: the engraver in charge of key signatures is displacing that second "\key es \major" _expression_ in the left hand, presumably because there was already one in place from the beginning (or perhaps because it's assuming a possible collision with the "\key c \major" _expression_ in the right hand). In either case, what I would prefer is that both new key signatures are not displaced horizontally, so that the second "\key es \major" is, in effect, merely a cautionary repetition of the one from the start and aligned underneath the naturals of the "\key c \major" _expression_ in the right hand.
Is there a better way to do this?
Cheers,
A
