Hi Matt,

Thanks for your answer and I will try to play with these settings.

If you try to take a look at this bar:

  http://djernaes.dk/misc/holes.pdf

You can see that this is pretty compressed and for small kids learning to play it's too compressed. Besides there seem to be quite a difference in layout between different outputs - yes sure I can add a \break (might try that first), but it would be nicer if I just could get the "right" output every time.

The default spacing in LilyPond has been carefully designed by the
implementors to provide a nice layout. If you want a more spacious
layout, maybe you should increase the staff size one or two steps.
If a particular line of music gets too compressed, it may help to
add a manual line break, \break.
If you really want to change the default spacings, take a look at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Horizontal-spacing.html#Horizontal-spacing


but I'd rather recommend not to fiddle too much with these properties.

Hi,

(I'm using Lilypond 2.4.2)

Can anyone help me with a command to set the minimum size of measure in
the layout? When I place lyrics under the notes I get pretty much what I
want, but if I just have notes the final score is too much compressed
for my taste (kids are going to read it).

Martin
