Hi James, Yes it's a quick one:
"For some layout objects, the minimum-length property becomes effective only if the set-spacing-rods procedure is called explicitly. To do this, the springs-and-rods property should be set to ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods. For example, the minimum length of a glissando has no effect unless the springs-and-rods property is set ..." https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/setting-minimum-lengths-for-spanners.html Lukas James Harkins <jamshar...@zoho.com> schrieb am Sa., 9.
