I'm having trouble with the vertical spacing of an orchestral score.
One StaffGroup for some odd reason doesn't respond to any of the
StaffGrouper overrides. (no other overrides used at the Staff level).
It uses a hidden second stave. Problem is if I reduce the spacing
between the two grouped staves when only the 1st staff is visible it
messes the spacing... No matter what I do Lilypond wants to space the
grouped staves very far apart which results in strange spacing in some
busier pages. I've spent hours trying to figure out how to solve this
problem.
The file is big and has a lot of dependencies so I cannot even make a
tiny example or even share the file itself since I'd have to force you
to include the exact same fonts and all kinds of random included files.
See the attached image.
I know this post may be useless but if you have a lot of experience
with Lilypond please contact me so I can share the file with you in
private, even if it won't compile.
1. Don't panic. LilyPond has a solution for everything.
2. In hopeless cases, you can always set the distances explicitly as
explained in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/explicit-staff-and-system-positioning
3. What is wrong with this?
\version "2.23.1"
<<
\new StaffGroup \with {
\RemoveAllEmptyStaves
\override StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 2)
(minimum-distance . 2)
(padding . 0)
(stretchability . 0))
} <<
\new Staff { c'1 \break c'1 }
\new Staff { r1 c'1 }
>>
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff { c'1 c'1 }
\new Staff { c'1 r1 }
>>
>>
4. If you're in trouble, take a look at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2019-07/msg00231.html
It's an extensive example of spacing options that Harm posted some time
ago on this list. I have found it useful.
Best,
