I tried applying the contents of http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems to move the figured bass a bit closer to the staff:
\version "2.19.54" \score { { \new StaffGroup << \new Staff { \clef "F" c d e f } \new Lyrics \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 1) (stretchability . 0)) } \lyrics { "c"4 "d" "e" "f" } \new FiguredBass \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 1)) } \figures { <5>4 <5>4 <5> <5> } >> } \layout { indent = 0 \cm } Yet this stupid figured bass does not move, even if I input a ridiculously large value for 'basic-distance. What is happening? _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
