Let's also change paper-defaults-init.ly so that \mm really means millimetres : mm = #(/ 1.0 staff-space)
Gosh, no. That was a mistake, because 'indent' and 'top-margin' and such things are still entered in mm (quite sensibly). The current definitions of mm, in, etc., need to stay as they are, for use with these variables.
My request is that between-system-padding = 5\mm be converted to system-system-spacing #'padding = 5\mm
I take that back as well. I don't actually *want* to express these spaces in mm; I was only following the old manual. Now I see the value in a non-naive conversion that would produce something like : between-system-padding = 5\mm system-system-spacing #'padding = #(/ between-system-padding staff-space) If this gets into the tracker, the extension below of Neil's example would be a good test-case. If we can fix the spurious warnings about minimum-Y-extent at the same time, then the snippet below should convert-ly with no error messages. --8<-- \version "2.13.9" \paper { between-system-padding = 10\mm between-system-space = 0 } \score { \relative c'' { c1 \break c1 } \layout { \context { \Lyrics \override LyricText #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-1 . 2) }}} _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
