staff order

[sean read]

I'm trying to make my first multi staff lilypond file and finding that I
can't figure out how to control the order of the staves. When I use


\version "2.14.1"
\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\new staff {
\key ees \major g''2 f8 g8~ |
}

\new staff {
\key ees \major aes'8 ees'8 c'2 |

}
}


The output always has the staff at the bottom on the top, but then when I
move that staff to the top it is still on the top!

How to I explicitly define the order of staves?

Dear Sean,

the Staff needs to start with a capital S: \new Staff
LilyPond is case-sensitive. That’s all.

Two other points:

1. You have some arbitrarily placed braces. I’d suggest to use them only
where they are needed.

2. Are you really using LilyPond 2.14? That’s really old. I’d suggest to
install a newer version (2.18 "stable" or a also reasonably stable
"development version" 2.19).

Here is your code such with the correct Staff:

\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff {
\time 3/4
\key ees \major
g''2 f8 g8~ |
}
\new Staff {
\key ees \major
aes'8 ees'8 c'2 |
}
}

Cheers,
Joram

Hi, Sean -

I don't know if it's "standard practice", but I always put my individual
staves into separate "functions" (is that right?), then combine them, as :

%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.19.81"
Right =
\relative c' {
\clef treble
\key g \major
\time 4/4

a4 b c d |
}

Left =
\relative c' {
\clef bass
\key g \major
\time 4/4

d4 c b a |
}

\score {
\new GrandStaff <<
\new Staff \Right
\new Staff \Left
\layout {}
}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

HTH.

All the best,

Ralph

Hi Sean,
You have to write "\New Staff" instead of "\New staff":

\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff {
\key ees \major g''2 f8 g8~ |
}
\new Staff {
\key ees \major aes'8 ees'8 c'2 |
}
}

\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff {
\key ees \major aes'8 ees'8 c'2 |
}
\new Staff {
\key ees \major g''2 f8 g8~ |
}
}

HTH,
Cheers,
Pierre

PS. v.214 is pretty old. how about using v2.19?

Check your log warning messages.

You have

\new staff

When you should have

\new Staff

Lilypond is case sensitive.

HTH,
