I figured out the proper syntax for changing "SpacingSpanner" properties. Esentially, it goes like this:
\score{ ... ... \paper{ \translator{ \ScoreContext SpacingSpanner \override #'spacing-increment = #2.0 } } } I've tried: "SpacingSpanner \override #'spacing-increment = #4.0" and "SpacingSpanner \override #'common-shortest-duration = #(make-moment 1 8)" but they don't do what I want: simply increase the horizontal space between notes. Can anyone point out the right SpacingSpanner properties to do this? Oscar Valdez Mensaje citado por David Raleigh Arnold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Monday 03 February 2003 04:40 pm, Oscar A.
