With Chord Charts there are only chord symbols - no melody as in a lead sheet. I have been trying to control the system-to-system spacing of these lines of chord symbols without success. Reading http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems I thought VerticalAxisGroup.default-nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing was the thing I needed to control, but it seems not. Can someone say what is controlling the spacing? Here is an example- a series of lines of root chords on C, each line spaced much too far apart for this application, despite setting all the VerticalAxisGroup defaults I could find.
\version "2.18.0" MvmntIIVoiceI = { c1 c c c \break c1 c c c \break c1 c c c \break c1 c c c } \score { << \new ChordNames \MvmntIIVoiceI >> \layout { \context { \Score \override VerticalAxisGroup.default-nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0) (minimum-distance . 0) (padding . 0) (stretchability . 0)) \override VerticalAxisGroup.default-staff-staff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0) (minimum-distance . 0) (padding . 0) (stretchability . 0)) \override VerticalAxisGroup.default-nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0) (minimum-distance . 0) (padding . 0) (stretchability . 0)) \override VerticalAxisGroup.default-nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0) (minimum-distance . 0) (padding . 0) (stretchability . 0)) } } } I'm thinking it must be that VerticalAxisGroup is a between-system thing, what will do the system-to-system thing when there are no ordinary staffs?
