What LilyPond version do you use? Don't expect an example written for version 2.5 to provide optimal layout in a later version, especially not if it uses such strange tricks as this particular example. To find a relevant example to use as a starting point, look at the "Templates" section of the manual for your version of LilyPond. Note also that the vertical alignment handling has been significantly revised and improved in the latest development version, 2.11.x, which by now is at least as bug free as the "stable" 2.10.33 version.

After months of work, I just finished setting a long piece for piano, using the example LES NÉRÉIDES given in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/examples.html as a template. This uses dynamics between the two staves, \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = "upper" \upper \new Dynamics = "dynamics" \dynamics \new Staff = "lower" << \clef bass \lower >>... The problem is that whenever dynamics are present, they tend to create much more extra space between the staves than is necessary, leading to very nonuniform looking systems (see http://www.nabble.com/file/p18454033/example.jpg example.jpg ). I have tried everything I could find in the documentation and on this forum which seemed to be relevant, and nothing has had any effect on this unwanted extra vertical space. I will greatly appreciate any advice! --Jim -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Staff-spacing-problem-with-piano-centered-dynamics-tp18454033p18454033.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
