Hi, I'm trying to add some space between systems with system-system-spacing.basic-distance inside the \paper block. In some cases the basic-distance gives more uniform spacing than the padding.
However, it seems to mess up the vertical spacing of lyrics placed above a staff. There seems to be too much space between the lyrics and the staff. That doesn't affect the first staff but the next ones. The minimum-distance does the same. Setting stretchability to 0 has no effect. I've attached an image and an example. If there are lyrics only on top of the staff the issue can be seen even without modifying the basic-distance. The default value #12 is enough to trigger this. If it is set to a much smaller value the spacing is OK. I'm sorry if my example is confusing. I tried to cover both cases—with one and two lines of lyrics. Am I just missing something obvious? I tried to search for a similar bug but found none so far. BR, Risto --------- --------- \version "2.19.18" \paper { ragged-right = ##t indent = #0 % If this is commented out, the top lyrics spacing is OK with lyrics % above and below the staff. system-system-spacing.basic-distance = #20 } melody = \relative c' \new Voice = "melody" { c4 c c c \break c4 c c c } testLyrics = \lyricmode { Aa aa aa aa. Aa aa aa aa. } << \new Staff = "SI" << \melody >> \new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext = "SI"} \lyricsto "melody" \testLyrics % If this is commented out, the default value is enough to trigger the spacing issue. \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" \testLyrics >>
