Hi list. Yes, I have rtfm, but I didn't find the answer, so here goes. Is there some way to always render a group of notes (grace notes in this case, but I guess this would be a general fix) with a fixed spacing that is not affected by the layout process? In my case I need it for typesetting Scottish Highland Bagpipe music, which has lots of complex gracenotes and (generally) a requirement for a fixed number of bars per line. This will often make the grace notes very uneven which does not look so good. I would like to always render the grace note groups with the same inter-note spacing and only have the layout process add space between "normal" notes. I've attached some examples of differences in spacing for the same note group. --- Grace notes are handled differently from normal notes as the documentation says However have you looked at this section http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/changing-horizontal-spacing This tells you how to alter the spacing to suit your needs. You say you need a fixed number of measures/bars per line, well you can easily put in \break where you want or you can create a second voice within the same system and break it at every xth Bar. A very simple example breaks = { \repeat unfold 4 { s1 | s1 | s1 | s1 \break } } music = { \repeat unfold 16 { a4 b c' d' } } \score { \new Staff << \new Voice { \music } \new Voice { \breaks } >> } This will break 16 bars of music at every 4th bar. Change the values to suit your time signature/number of bars per line. Depending on your specific examples you may or may not get exactly what you need without much more manual tweaking of each measure.
