Dear all,
Recently a friend, professional engraver (non-LilyPond), looking with a very
critical eye at some of my LilyPond trials, pointed out that when there is a
tie, interrupted by a system break, the distance from tie to barline and from
whatever sits at the beginning of the staff to tie is a bit too small.
Looking at commercial editions I saw that these distances vary somewhat so it
may be a matter of taste.
Still, I think that the distance LilyPond creates, especially at the beginning
of the staff, is too small. See example (I found it interesting to fiddle with
the \key)
%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"
\paper {
paper-width = 5.59\cm
paper-height = 8.93\cm
system-system-spacing #' basic-distance = #5
tagline = ##f
}
\layout{
indent=0\mm
}
{ \time 2/4 \key des \major \omit Staff.TimeSignature
ges'2~ | \break
ges'2
}
%%%%%%%%%
My question: is there a way to change the tie-length or the space after,
respectively before the tie, or the space between "whatever sits at the
beginning of the staff" and the musical text? I have not found any so far.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
