Is there a way to squeeze this? I'm wanting this in a footnote and it needs to be reduced in size to look right. Thanks for the help.
Hi Jay, The space between Clef and first-note is documented in the Internals References manual, IR 3.1.26 Clef http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.20/Documentation/internals/clef You can modify the space-alist property for the first-note item. Either by changing the spacing-style to a stretchable (or semi-fixed) space or by reducing the value of minimum-fixed-space. Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com>
