Re: Reducing staff numbers in LilyPond

[Chris Yate]

Personally I think it's clearer to just use two staves, Treble and Bass.

Many choral basses can't read treble clef, and tenors might sing the wrong pitch, as they're used to reading octave treble...

I have a choral piece where some of it is 4-part divisi SATB, and some of it is unison (true unison, not octaves). I would love to notate this in LilyPond with the two (women's & men's) staves combining visually into one staff - when in the middle of a printed line, I'd like it to actually converge to the single staff, something like this (which I just pasted together crudely in an image editor):

Is that possible in LilyPond?

(BTW - I originally posted this as https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/62569, and did get one response but I still don't quite get how I'd go about this - I get the impression the mailing list is more well-trafficked?)
