I’ve got a cross-staff tie in an organ piece which appears to be responsible for adding unwanted space between the L.H. staff and the Pedal staff. If I comment out the \shape line, the spacing then conforms as expected, using the values in the second VerticalAxisGroup block, but then the tie goes way up above the R.H. staff.
There are a few programming errors in the log: “My pure_y_common is a VerticalAlignment, which might contain several staves” and “Some of my vertical-skyline-elements are outside my VerticalAxisGroup”. I have a suspicion that I may be going about this (staff spacing) in a way which is not ideal, but it’s what I’ve been using and it largely works. I’ll happily take any comments on that, but my primary concern at present is getting the tie in the right place, and, at the same time, having the proper spacing to the Pedal staff. I’d be grateful for any advice. -- Dan \version "2.19.58" rightOne = \relative c' { <c a'>4 g' fis } leftOne = \relative c { \shape #'((-0.8 . -12.0) (-0.8 . -11.0) (-1.9 . -10.0) (-0.7 . -7.0)) Tie <e a~> \change Staff = "right" \stemDown a2 } pedal = \relative c { a4 b2 } \score { << \new PianoStaff \with { \remove "Vertical_align_engraver" } % removes extra space before pedal staff << \new Staff = "right" \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup.default-staff-staff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 12.3) (minimum-distance . 9) (padding . 1) (stretchability . 15)) } % section above controls spacing between hands { \rightOne } \new Staff = "left" \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup.default-staff-staff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 9.5) (minimum-distance . 7.0) (padding . 0) (stretchability . 0)) } % section above controls spacing between LH and pedal { \clef bass \leftOne } >> \new Staff = "pedal" { \clef bass \pedal } >> } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
