I am trying to resize a score from A4 to A5.
Using
\layout {
#(layout-set-staff-size 14)...
most things bound to the staff scaled down nicely, but the distance of staff
lines (for me unexpectedly) did not.
Unexpectedly for almost everyone, I guess. It just contradicts the
intuition one has about it, especially since the global-set-staff-size
does this "the Right way".
But it fulfills the "specifications", as it is explicitly mentioned in
NR 4.2.1, "Setting the staff size" under "Known issues and warnings":
"layout-set-staff-size does not change the distance between the staff
lines. "
(More precisely, #'staff-space is not changed along, and it internally
refers to global staff-spaces as units, which aren't affected by the
layout-set-staff-size command as well; see IR 3.2.96
"staff-symbol-interface".)
I tried
\score{
<<
\new Staff << \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #0.7 \global \new
Voice { \one }...
but that did nothing.
I didn't test it, but my guess is the following: StaffSymbol is a
property of the Staff, but if you don't explicitly declare the context
in the override command, Voice is always assumed, and there
#'staff-space has no meaning.
So you should try one of the following:
\score { <<
\new Staff { <<
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #0.7 % note "Staff."
...
>> }
>> }
or my preferred variants (cleaner/more understandable and obvious, if
you don't want to change this very property throughout the piece):
\score { <<
\new Staff \with {
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #0.7
% "Staff." not needed here, since the context is uniquely defined
% to be this very Staff the \with {} section belongs to.
} { <<
...
>> }
>> }
or even better (since you'll probably want to do this for all staves in
the score):
\score {
<<
\new Staff { << ... >> }
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #0.7
% "Staff." not needed here, since the context is uniquely defined
% to be all Staves.
}
}
}
HTH.
Cheers,
Alexander
