Hi Carl,
So I tried the following ...
%%% EX 3 %%%
\version "2.13.61"
\paper {
evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { " " }
indent = #0
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { " " }
top-margin = 20\mm
system-system-spacing = #'(
(basic_distance . 0) (minimum_distance . 0) (padding . 0)
(stretchability . 0))
top-system-spacing = #'(
(basic_distance . 0) (minimum_distance . 0) (padding . 0)
(stretchability . 0))
}
\new Staff {
%%% PAGE 1 %%%%
\overrideProperty #"Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn"
#'line-break-system-details #'((Y-offset . 0))
c'1 \pageBreak
\overrideProperty #"Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn"
#'line-break-system-details #'((Y-offset . 0))
c''''1
}
%%% END EX 3 %%%
... but the output appears to be the same as example 1. (Ie, the settings
appear to have no effect.)
Is there perhaps a mistake in my top-system-spacing and
system-system-spacing settings?
(And apologies for the miscompilation of exx 1 & 2; I just tried cutting and
pasting from the thread on my end and they seem to compile ok, which is
odd.)
Trevor.
