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.
