I would like some way to override the vertical springs, providing absolute control of spacing. Something like \breakSpace #7 to force distance to the following staff and \pageBreakSpace #0 to force distance from the last staff to the bottom of the page. The space at the top would be computed. Yes, this is would be tedious to use, but far less tedious than the now present need to fool the springs. Anyone agree? Disagree? - Bruce -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Graham Percival Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 1:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: lilypond-user Mailinglist Subject: Re: stretchable systems On 25-Aug-05, at 8:12 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > to get this to apply to all the voices in a staff.

There's a piece I'm The best way to do this is like this: \layout { \context { \Score minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-7 . 7) }} Nicolas is trying to do something a bit more difficult; he wants to have this set automatically, which is very tricky to program.
