Hi Joram, Unfortunately "\once \override NoteHead.minimum-Y-extent = #'(-20 . 0)" gives me a horrible result: - the note stem is extended - it increases the space between the piano staves (i.e. between the G clef staff and the F staff clef) which I don't want.
And yes I want to add padding between two specific piano staves. What I think/guess I need is the padding in staffgroup-staff-spacing http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/internals/staffgrouper applied only \once between two staff groups. But what I tried didn't work. ... I tried to enable the Frescobaldi's display skylines (hidden inside Tools -> Layout Control Options, took me a while to find out) but I couldn't see any "blue lines", only blue boxes associated with notes and other elements. Maybe I'm doing something wrong ... Thanks. Regards.
