True. You can also omit the # before the number. --David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi All, 2014-11-07 8:52 GMT+01:00 Martin Tarenskeen m.tarensk...@gmail.com: You all know today it's allowed to use something like: system-system-spacing.padding = #20 It's in the docs, but doesn't seem to be common practice yet? Right ; in my mind this syntax started with 2.19. Don't know why... Anyway I just wanted to add that I'd rather use: system-system-spacing.basic-distance = #20 'cause I found this more flexible.

Re: Single Staff Spacing
Chris Trahan wrote I figured that the spacing had to go in the \paper section but I couldn't figure out what parameters to adjust. The options for vertical spacing in LilyPond can be pretty overwhelming. Here's an invaluable visual guide that Abraham put together: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/attachment/164161/0/vertical-spacing-paper-variables.pdf And here's a snippet I wrote that simplifies the process by letting you scale the default vertical spacing settings: https://github.com/openlilylib/openlilylib/tree/master/notation-snippets/scale-vertical-spacing Cheers, -Paul -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Single-Staff-Spacing-tp168478p168517.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Single Staff Spacing
I'm new to Lilypond. I have a simple score that is short. It's a single staff score. I'm trying to increase the spacing between staves but nothing I try is working. How do I increase the space between the staves? A short example is: \version 2.18.2 \new Staff { \relative c'' { \key g \major \time 3/4 \autoBeamOff \partial 4 c8 d | e2.~ | e2 g,8 b | d4 d b | a8( g)~ g2~ | \break g4 e'8 e4 e8 | d2.~| d8 d, a'4 a | g2.~ | g8 c c4 d | e2.~ | } } Thank, Chris Trahan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Try adding this to your file: \paper { system-system-spacing #'basic-distance = 20 } For more details, see the documentation at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables Hope this helps, David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Single Staff Spacing
There are probably several ways, but the way I do it is: Near the top, after your version statement, add a \paper block: \version 2.18.2 \paper { system-system-spacing #'padding = #2 } \new Staff Adjust the value 2 to a value of your liking. Another option is to let Lilypond auto-space the systems on the page to fill the page. To do this, use this paper block instead of the one above: \paper { ragged-last-bottom = ##f } HTH, Jim On Thu, Nov 06, 2014 at 08:43:29PM -0600, Chris Trahan wrote: I'm new to Lilypond.

Tu sum up: \version 2.18.2 \paper { system-system-spacing #'padding = #20 %% you can also try: % ragged-last-bottom = ##f %% and/or (for a multi pages score): % ragged-bottom = ##f } \new Staff { \relative c'' { \key g \major \time 3/4 \autoBeamOff \partial 4 c8 d | e2.~ | e2 g,8 b | d4 d b | a8( g)~ g2~ | \break g4 e'8 e4 e8 | d2.~| d8 d, a'4 a | g2.~ | g8 c c4 d | e2.~ | } } HTH, Pierre ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
