I read: "The piano staffs are handled a little differently: to make cross-staff beaming work correctly, it necessary that the distance between staves is fixed. This is also done with a VerticalAlignment grob, created in PianoStaff , but a forced distance is set. This is done with the grob property #'forced-distance. If you want to override this, use a \translator block as follows: \translator { \PianoStaffContext VerticalAlignment \override #'forced-distance = #9 } This would bring the staffs together at a distance of 9 staff spaces, and again this is measured from the center line of each staff." Great! But I can't figure out where to put the code... Asumed it was just after my \context PianoStaff but that gives me an "error: parse error, expecting `STRING':" on the "{" in the above code. Newbies like me really need to see stuff in context to get the big picture, so is someone could post a working .ly with VertivalAlignment *in PianoStaff*, that would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance. -- love, peace & harmony Atte _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
