In the example below, \version "2.14.0" \layout {\context {\Score }} <<\new Staff = "main" \with {\override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-staff-spacing = #'(basic-distance . 3) } {\time 6/8 %{1 %} r8 g8 [ b8 ~ ] b8 [ d8 f8 ~ ] %{2 %}<<{ f8 [ f8 f8 ~ ] f8 d8 r8 %{3 %} r8 g8 [ g8 ~ ] g8 [ e8 c8 ] ~ } \new RhythmicStaff \with {alignAboveContext = #"main" fontSize = #-3 \override Stem #'length = #5 \override Stem #'length = #5 \remove "Time_signature_engraver" \remove "Staff_symbol_engraver" \remove "Bar_engraver" } { b4 b8 r4 b8 r8 b4 b4 b8}>> %{4 %} c8 a4 r4 f8 }>>
the staves are too far apart. It was my understanding that changing the value in parentheses in \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-staff-spacing = #'(basic-distance . 3) would alter the distance between staves, but though I attempted to do so, the staves remained at the default spacing. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
