Hi Chris,
I guess maybe I'm confused then. When I leave off the associated lyrics,
then the note spacing is compact, just like I wish. When I put the lyrics
in, they push over some notes, but the other note spaces are not changed.
Here's a quick example of what I mean:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\include "gregorian.ly"
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t
}
\context {
\Voice
\override Stem #'length = #0
}
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
timing = ##t
barAlways = ##f
}
}
chant = {
\clef treble \cadenzaOn \autoBeamOff
g'( a' b') b'~ b'
}
chantLyrics = \lyricmode { Test -- ing }
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "chantVoice" \chant
>>
}
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "chantVoice" \chant
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "chantVoice" { \chantLyrics }
>>
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The first score/staff has nice tight spacing. Once I add the lyrics, the
notes not associated with the lyric get pushed over.
