Like in the old joke of a composition student being given advice to take the easy route and just write his professor's Praeludien backwards: "I already tried, Songs by Schubert come out". I already tried a number of ways to improve the vertical alignment of embedded scores, including \vcenter. The resulting alignment is good, but having good alignment does NOT solve the spurious spacing. The problem of spurious spacing is that the shape of the staff is approximated by its bounding box. In the case of text, such approximations work ok, because the optical "density distribution" is reasonably close to rectangular. But for music, it is far from rectangular, we have things sticking out of the staff, like the tip of the G clef. So visually, the white space above a staff begins from the 5th line, but the machine starts measuring it from the highest point of the clef. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
