Question: VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent

2009-02-11 Thread Thomas Scharkowski
I have several old (< LilyPond 2.11) small music examples with only some staves, where I changed the default spacing with e.g. "\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-12 . 4)". Since Lilypond 2.11. this does not work anymore (See attachments). What is the preferred solution n

And the weakness is pretty apparent. Lilypond does a great job of placing notes, but in my opinion, the placement of dots when the notehead falls on a line is less than appealing. El 11.02.2009, a las 11:52, Nick Payne escribió: After a bit of fiddling, this gives pretty much the desired ou
