it's very important to hit the correct context when overriding properties! \new Staff \with { \consists "Balloon_engraver" \balloonLengthOn } should respect the length of the balloon text, whereas putting \balloonLengthOn/Off between the notes will \override the /voice/'s property only. hth Eluze -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/BalloonGrobText-spacing-tp138839p138897.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
