<p>Hi Laurent,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The outermost staffGrp functions as a kind of "root element" for the set of staffGrp definitions. Only it, not the inner ones, should have the @symbol="line" attribute -- this controls whether the score has a line at the left edge of the staves or not.
The "inner" staffGrp elements then use @symbol to indicate how the group's staves are connected.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With this in mind, *without the outer group, as in the Ahle example, no line should be drawn.* There appears, ahem, to be a coding error in the MEI file. :-) It's a mistake repeated in nearly all the examples for solo keyboard and maybe (I have checked
thoroughly) in those for solo voice and keyboard accompaniment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think there's no easy way to prevent this error, since staffGrp is used for both the outer container and the contained groups. A simple thing that might help would be to create a schematron rule that restricts @symbol="line" to the outer group only.
This way, if one were concerned about the connecting line, the only way to get it would be to properly nest the staffGrp elements.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does this help?</p>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have an inner group with @symbol=line and an outer one with @symbol=brace it’s pretty unambiguous. Are you thinking braceWithLine just to eliminate one level of hierarchy?</div>

<div>I have question regarding the @symbol in staffGrp with the value "brace" (or "bracket"). Does it implies a line to be rendered as well or not?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the examples given in the documentation, most cases with a brace containing all staves, there is usually one single staffGrp (with symbol="brace"), whereas with orchestral score, we usually have one staffGrp with symbol="line" and then sub staffGrps
with symbol="brace".</div>

<div>How can we clarify this? Should we allow something like "braceWithLine" as possible value?</div>
