Customize the number of staff lines

[mehditrabelsi]

Hi, I can’t customize the number of staff lines. To make three lines I used a percussion kit with a group of three instrumentalists. The problem is that I can’t hide part of the drum kit staff on the same system. Moreover, is there a way to customize the number of lines of a musical staff without going through the drum kit?

Future request: Staff with one line for pitched instruments without XML hack

It would be great to have the option to define a staff with one line and even no line for pitched instruments. The XML hack doesn’t work when you want to add it to an already large and complex score because the xml ex- and import is loosing to much information, especially microtones.
