SystemStartBar is usually a multi-line (and thus broken) spanner. To affect only a certain part of it you need to use the technics explained here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/extending-big-page#difficult-tweaks Leading to the argument of the 'after-line-breaking-override below. I post the whole reformated layout. Please obtain not to exceed 80 characters per line in code. Otherwise comments, broken by an email-client will mess all up. \layout { \context { \Score \remove "Bar_number_engraver" % make only the first clef visible \override Clef #'break-visibility = #'#(#f #f #f) % make only the first time signature visible \override KeySignature #'break-visibility = #'#(#f #f #f) \override SystemStartBar #'after-line-breaking = #(lambda (grob) (let* ((orig (ly:grob-original grob)) (siblings (if (ly:grob? orig) (ly:spanner-broken-into orig) '()))) (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'collapse-height (if (and (pair? siblings) (equal? grob (car siblings))) 10 1)))) } } HTH, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
