By 'better' I meant that it shows the problem more clearly. I haven't tweaked much at all yet. This is default Lilypond and it doesn't complain one bit about it getting too dense:

I've done this to make it smaller: ----- \new Staff \with { fontSize = #-3 \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3) } {\hornNotes} ----- Is this not good practice? Is there a way I can spread it out a bit? I'm not quite sure how to remove a bar from the system without adding in manual \breaks. I did this and had to take out about 5 measures from the system to make it look nicer. Even then the bass clef is right on top of the rest. I'll play with it a bit more when I'm done entering the notes of the piece to make it presentable. Thanks for the help again. (You guys are quick. I'm always surprised at how responsive you all are.) -----Jay On 10/6/06, Werner LEMBERG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I'm quite sure that lilypond complains about it. What about removing, say, the first bar so that the system is dense but not overfull? Does this still cause a collision? Werner
