Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out if I can change system-system-spacing by score, that is, in the \layout block. I have a collection of scores (preludes) where the global \paper settings work fine for some, but I have a score that needs its own system-system-spacing values. My question is very similar to this post [1] but as far as I can see, it was not replied to.
There is a snippet [2] that suggests that you can put system-system-spacing values in a \layout block, but I haven't been able to get this to work. Can you do this, or is there another way to deal with this? Here is my MWE: %%% \version "2.23.9" \paper { % This works % system-system-spacing.padding = 30 } \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff { \repeat unfold 16 c'4 \break \repeat unfold 16 c'4 } \new Staff { \clef bass \repeat unfold 16 c4 \break \repeat unfold 16 c4 } >> \layout { % Doesn't work, although it's written in this snippet: % https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/snippets-big-page.html#chords-chord-names-alternative system-system-spacing.padding = 30 } } %%% [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2017-03/msg00550.html [2] https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/snippets-big-page.html#chords-chord-names-alternative -- Knute Snortum
