I was trying to create some incipits and I realized that you can't create incipits with multiple lines. I couldn't find any guides or information on Petrucci.
Can anyone confirm?

Re: Lilypond INCIPIT codes
Typically incipits are never longer than one line, as far as I know... Usually they consist of the first few notes (or first phrase) of a piece.
Which works are you looking to create incipits for?
But to answer your question, I don't know if it's possible to create multi-line incipits. You can create one-line, multi-staff incipits, though you sometimes see those reduced to a single-staff to highlight the melodic line, with cue notes added to provide the larger context.

Re: Lilypond INCIPIT codes
multiple lines as in length? whyever not?
multiple contrapuntal lines like a string quartet or duo sonata incipit, that can be and has been done (google search for it?)
