Dear members, I am reading this forum since sometimes, as I am doing my first steps in Lilypond.
I am making a score in which I have two systems of eight staves each per page (I managed to do that by setting page size to a3 and shrinking it to a4 on printing it: I guess it's not really proper, but I still have to figure out how to change staves and font size, but this is a different problem). Lilypond keeps stretching and narrowing the space between staves, so that my systems are floating up and down on different pages. I found some explanations about this already here in the forum, but, as my english is not good enough and my knowledge of Lilypond is limited, I'd need some more help. Here is my score block: %*****************************Score*********************** \score { \new StaffGroup << \new GrandStaff << \new Staff { \flautoa} \new Staff { \flautob} >> \new GrandStaff << \new Staff { \Violinoa} \new Staff { \Violinob} >> \new Staff { \Viola} \new Staff { \Continuo} \new PianoStaff << \cembalo >> >> \layout{ \context { \Score \override BarNumber #'padding = #2 %#(layout-set-staff-size 8) } } %******************************************************** How do I get fixed spaces between staves in this code? I am running Lilypond 2.10.33.
