Hi Kieren,
we're coming closer! But running your snippet as-is through lilypond I
still have some
gaps (see attached screenshot).
Now they are (probably) no more between chords and lyrics but between
the whole lines.
Using annotate-spacing I see that there is a greater "extra dist
(system-system-spacing)"
between some lines. In most lines it is less than 2, but the two gaps
have 5.21 or 27.86.
How can I reduce those? I can't find a reason for those gaps being that
big ...
This seems to help things behave a little better w.r.t. system-system
spacing:
%%%%
% Do not use zero lines, but keep one around and hide it.
\override StaffSymbol.line-count = 1
\override StaffSymbol.transparent = ##t
%%%%
I would probably use a \paper section like this to evenly spread lines
across the page:
%%%%
\paper {
indent = 0
ragged-right = ##t
ragged-bottom = ##f
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
system-system-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 0) (minimum-distance . 0)
(padding . 0) (stretchability . 250))
last-bottom-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 0) (minimum-distance . 0)
(padding . 0) (stretchability . 1000))
}
%%%%
This uses the strechability feature to divide the remaining space
between the bottom of the page and between the systems.
