Thanks Eluze. After some study I reduced the basic-distance and stretchability of the score-markup-spacing. I also reduced the stretchability of the system-system-spacing and then I expanded all parameters of the markup-markup-spacing, including a large amount of stretchability.
Things are looking good. The "words/music" credits now hug the score they belong to and the pre-title spacing flexes as needed. Unfortunately LP will still sometimes place a page break between a score and its markup/credits. Is there a way to keep that from happening? -jvh -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/positioning-markup-text-outside-of-score-tp135023p135081.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
