2.1.29 PianoStaff

Just like GrandStaff, but the staves are only removed together, never separately.

This context also accepts commands for the following context(s): GrandStaff.

This context creates the following layout object(s): Arpeggio, InstrumentName, SpanBar, SpanBarStub, StaffGrouper, SystemStartBar, SystemStartBrace, SystemStartBracket, SystemStartSquare and VerticalAlignment.

This context sets the following properties:

• Set context property instrumentName to '().
• Set context property localAlterations to #f.
• Set context property localAlterations to '().
• Set context property localAlterations to '().
• Set context property shortInstrumentName to '().
• Set context property systemStartDelimiter to 'SystemStartBrace.
• Set context property systemStartDelimiter to 'SystemStartBracket.
• Set context property topLevelAlignment to #f.
• Set grob property extra-spacing-width in DynamicText to #f.

This is not a ‘Bottom’ context; search for such a one will commence after creating an implicit context of type Staff.

Keep_alive_together_engraver

This engraver collects all Hara_kiri_group_spanners that are created in contexts at or below its own. These spanners are then tied together so that one will be removed only if all are removed. For example, if a StaffGroup uses this engraver, then the staves in the group will all be visible as long as there is a note in at least one of them.

Output_property_engraver

Apply a procedure to any grob acknowledged.
