Is it possible to make an object (e.g., a text markup) not take up any
vertical space?
I've been using Mats' tip for inserting extra vertical space, to good
effect, e.g. (customized):
pushup = #(define-music-function (parser location padding) (number?)
#{
s1*0^\markup { \pad-markup #$(* 0.5 padding) \null }
#})
pushdown = #(define-music-function (parser location padding) (number?)
#{
s1*0_\markup { \pad-markup #$(* 0.5 padding) \null }
#})
and then
\pushup #3
wherever I want to insert 3 staff spaces of vertical space above a staff,
or
\pushdown #4
to insert 4 staff spaces of vertical space below a staff.
But there's one place in the score I'm working on where Lilypond makes
unnecessary vertical space for a text markup (I reported this to
bug-lilypond), and I wish I could do the opposite, like:
\pulldown #3
or
\pushup #-3
to insert -3 staff spaces of vertical space above a staff, thus "pulling
down" the staff above it.
I tried changing 0.5 in the above definition to -0.5, but it didn't work,
even with very large numbers.
So the thing to do would be to prevent the offending text markup from
being accounted for in Lilypond's vertical spacing routines.
Is this possible?
