hi assuming you are using ungrouped staves you can use something like
\layout { \context { \Staff \override VerticalAxisGroup #'default-staff-staff-spacing = #'( (basic-distance . 0) (minimum-distance . 0) (padding . -2) (stretchability . 90) ) } } and play around with the numbers! this is discribed in the chapter you mention: "Spacing of ungrouped staves" Eluze _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
