The organ template given in `fundamental.itely' lacks an important property, namely the limited stretchability of the pedal staff. Without this, the distance of the pedal staff w.r.t. the other two staves can become far too big.
I thus suggest that it looks like this: << \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = "Right" { ... } \new Staff = "Left" \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup #'next-staff-spacing = #'((space . 9) (minimum-distance . 8) (padding . 1) (stretchability . 5)) } { ... } >> \new Staff = "Pedal" { ... } >> Unfortunately, this (IMHO absolutely necessary) setup no longer qualifies the organ template to be part of `fundamental.italy', I believe... Werner PS: I would *really* like to override just the stretchability by saying \override VerticalAxisGroup #'next-staff-spacing #'stretchability = #5 instead of specifying all properties of `next-staff-spacing'. Is this already possible? Otherwise, has this already been added to the bug tracker as an enhancement request? _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
