> I'm not top posting Hi all, I've encountered a problem when trying to modify the distance between a FiguredBass line and a Staff which is placed above. If there are Lyrics attached to the Voice placed in the upper staff, setting a padding to the FiguredBass line has no effect. Maybe I don't unterstand the way this is supposed to work, but I'm confused.
See the following example: \version "2.13.58" notes = \repeat unfold 20 { a4 b c b } text = \lyricmode { \repeat unfold 20 { bla bla bla bla } } numbers = \figuremode { \repeat unfold 20 { <3 5>4 <4 6> <_+> <7> } } \layout { \context { \FiguredBass \override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing #'padding = #20 \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #DOWN } } \score { << \new Voice = "one" \relative c'' \notes \new Lyrics \lyricsto one \text %% Comment this out \new FiguredBass \numbers \new Staff { \clef bass \relative c \notes } >> } Many thanks for any advice, Michael _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
