Hi,
In the attached example "chopin-example.ly" (two bars from Chopin's
Nocturne in C# minor) the horizontal spacing of some of the little
notes is ugly. Watch for example in the first bar where the ottava
jump starts.
How can I manually improve this?
You can insert
\once \override Stem #'minimum-X-extent = #'(0 . 0.8)
before the a' (of course adjust the numbers to your liking).
I first tried with NoteHead (which seemed more natural), but that
prolonged the ledger line too.
P.S. I am typesetting a lesser known and lesser played, yet Chopin
autograph, version of this Nocturne, with some interesting typesetting
issues. For example at some point in the score I have to combine two
3/4 bars in the right hand with one 2/2 bar in the left hand.
polymetric music from 1830!
I'll share the end results later.
I'm looking forward to that as I'm very interested in this sort of thing.
HTH
