Hello,
I am new to Lilypond, cutting my teeth on a couple of pretty simple layouts - 
this exercise is to reproduce a page of a Petrucci score.....
[X]


I'm thrilled with this ....

[cid:710639fb-021d-4038-8cea-e057f36c7914]



.... but I would like to remove the space from around the notes and bunch them 
up like in the original. I tried a couple of things I found that looked 
relevant - they're commented out in my snippet - and "\compressEmptyMeasures" 
but to no avail .....

\version "2.18.2"


\header {
  title = "Odhekaton"
  composer = "Obrecht"
     piece = "Alto"

 }

\score {

<<
    \new MensuralVoice = "alto" {
\clef "petrucci-c2"
\time 2/2

\override NoteHead.style = #'petrucci
% \override SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1/4)
% \override Score.SpacingSpanner.strict-note-spacing = ##t
\hide Score.BarNumber {

d'\breve
c'\breve
\[ d'1\melisma f'1. \melismaEnd \]

e'2 d'1 c'1. d'2 e'1 f'2. e'4 f'4 g'4 a'1 g'4 f'4 e'2 d'1 c'2 d'1. c'4 b4 
c'\longa

      }
    }

  >>
}

  \layout { }
  \midi { }


Any help, gratefully received.

By the way, I know it's not a Lilypond question, but if anyone can tell me how 
to interpret "Verte"(?) that would be a help too.

Many thanks

Giles

PS I have a brand new installation on Windows 11 too if there is a more recent 
feature required to make this work. All my other related software is on this 
Windows 8.1 machine, so I use it for preference.
