(sorry for the duplicate message, the first one bounced) My 2 cents...
1) The 1891 Breitkopf & Härtel edition of Brahms' Piano Trio Op.8 (1889 version) has the smaller staves exactly 2/3 the height of the larger staves. Click "Complete score": http://imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Trio_No.1,_Op.8_%28Brahms,_Johannes%29#2nd_version_.281889.29 I think that's a good reference to follow. 2) Instead of this: fontSize = #-3 \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3) I would prefer this: \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #2/3 fontSize = #(magnification->font-size 2/3) (this equates to a font-size of -3.50977500432694) - Mark _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
