Instantiating new staves

Staves (singular: staff) are created with the \new or \context commands. For details, see Creating contexts.

The basic staff context is Staff:

     
     \new Staff { c4 d e f }

       \drummode { cymc hh ss tomh }
     }

There are two staff contexts specific for the notation of ancient music: MensuralStaff and VaticanaStaff. They are described in Pre-defined contexts.

Staves can be started or stopped at any point in the score. The commands \startStaff and \stopStaff are used for this purpose. For details, see Staff symbol.
