Rehearsal mark vertical spacing

2021-10-16 Thread Erika Pirnes
I'm trying to figure out how to position rehearsal marks a bit farther from the staff. It might be an easy fix (I hope so) but I couldn't find a solution yet. My example below; especially with notes above the staff the rehearsal mark seems to be too clingy. \version "2.18.2" notes = \relative

Ah, right - the number of systems on the first page didn't change, and I stopped there instead of looking at later pages as well. I'll experiment with nopagebreak. I already have a voice with just time signatures, skips and breaks, so that'll be a handy place to put them. Thanks, Paul On 06/0

Okay, The problem is this part here: [1] Lilypond fails to correctly estimate the extend of that bit and overestimates. This results in this extent estimate: [2] (the arrow in the middle), which is significantly longer than the actual system, resulting in Lilypond believing that there is spac

Hi, Okay. The problem seems to be that for the upper system the extent estimate is larger than it should be. Consider setting the debug-skylines option (-ddebug- display-skylines from CLI or #(ly:set-option debug-skylines) from file). Maybe we find something. It took me a year of contributing

Setting that option draws coloured lines along the skyline. At first glance the lines hug the notation tightly throughout, as I'd expect. But in the first line of the piece there are a couple of small oddities. (1) towards the end of the third staff (bar 7, secondo), the top skyline has a bli

One of the hardest things to find information on, it seems to me, is how to adjust vertical spacing. There's lots of information about adjusting spacing within systems, but little about fitting systems on a page. In the example below, there is lots of space between the systems. The g
