This is controlled by the |minimumVerticalExtent| property of the two involved
contexts, namely ChordNames and Staff. However, by default the ChordNames
don't extend below zero, so you probably have to reduce the upper value
(= the second value) of the property for Staff. Note that this may affect also
other spacings in the score.
See http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/Staff.html#Staff
and
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Vertical-spacing.html#Vertical%20spacing
That's what I thought.
Ok. With some experimentation I got it to work but from my experiments I discovered that \set creates a new staff. The following creates the staff above the chords:
\version "2.1.25"
\header { title = "Chord Space Test" }
\score { << \set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-0 . 1) \context ChordNames \chords{ a b c d } \context Staff \notes{ a'4 b' c' d' } >> }
Is this what is intended? Where is this feature of \set described?
Haven't you asked almost the same question before? \set Staff.xxx = xxx sets a property value in the current Staff context. If there is no such context, LilyPond has to create one to be able to do the setting. Two lines later, you create a new Staff context. You have to do the setting within the context you want to affect: \score { << \context ChordNames \chords{ a b c d } \context Staff \notes{ \set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-0 . 1) a'4 b' c' d' } >> }
In recent development versions, you also have the following convenient syntax:
\score {
<<
\context ChordNames \chords{ a b c d }
\context Staff \notes \with { minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-0 . 1) }
{ a'4 b' c' d' }
>>
