1.6 Staff notation

[image of music]

Notes, dynamic signs, rests, etc., are grouped with a set of horizontal lines, called a staff (plural ‘staves’). In LilyPond, these lines are drawn using a separate layout object called staff symbol.

Two or more staves can be grouped vertically in a GrandStaff, a StaffGroup, or a ChoirStaff.
