Re: Start new score without line break

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi All,

Well, here's what I have so far. All that is needed now is the brace and the time signature.

\score {

  \new PianoStaff

    \new Staff { \treble }
    \new Staff { \bass }

I wonder if you could get LilyPond to draw the brace after the break in
the staff by defining a custom barline and putting that there? It would
not work for nested braces, but I think most applications are just a
single brace.
