Re: Moving a staff closer to another one

Great. That takes care of the issue with the rests, but not with the vertical alignment of the pedal brackets, which move all over the place to accommodate other objects. But knowing this about voices helps me a ton. I've learned Lilypond on an ad hoc, as needed basis, so there is still a lot to

Re: Moving a staff closer to another one

I think that when you say "If I put the pedal voice in the left-hand it forces all the rests in the left-hand voice to sit a fifth higher" you must be using implicit voices, which sets each voice as voiceOne, voiceTwo, etc, and therefore moves the rests to avoid collisions. I've not got time no

Re: Moving a staff closer to another one

I've moved sustain pedal articulations to a separate voice using spacers because they did not fit cleanly on the other voices. If I put the pedal voice in the left-hand it forces all the rests in the left-hand voice to sit a fifth higher. In addition the marks end up aligned all over the place,

Tweaking the positions of figured bass figures.

Sometimes the position of figured bass figures needs tweaking. Reading the manual I see Y-offset and padding mentioned as properties of BassFigureAlignmentPositioning but nothing for BassFigure, which I guess is the name of the layout object I would need to tweak. I have tried this: \version "2.1
