May I mention a small omission in the documentation? http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/setting-the-staff-size
~~ Known issues and warnings layout-set-staff-size does not change the distance between the staff lines. ~~ It would be helpful here to have a link to a section of the documentation that explains how to override this distance, and/or an example of setting this in the layout block. I found here [1] that I can override #'staff-space in each staff's \with block. However, since we---as it appears in the score's layout block, it would be nice to set the default staff-space for all staves in the score also in the layout block. I'm aware that I can use #(set-global-staff-size size) to change the font size and line spacing at once, globally, for an entire book. I don't think that helps in this case, where I'm embedding a small score into a \markup block for a page of instructions preceding the actual music. This page will appear in the score and also in the parts -- in the parts, I'm not reducing the font size for the main \score, but I do want to reduce the font size for this embedded \score. Since the embedded score is very short, I don't mind using the \with block workaround. I just wanted to call attention to it as something in the documentation where the solution is absent. hjh [1] http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/modifying-single-staves _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
