(Bug?) Hidden staves take space if there are lyrics

2008-09-01 Thread Risto Vääräniemi
Hi, It seems that if I remove the empty staves using RemoveEmptyStaffContext everything is usually OK if there are not lyrics. There's equal amount of space between the staves. However, if I throw in some lyrics the spacing is messed up and the invisible staves start taking some space. If there

What typesetting layout would you propose in these situations, where the arpeggio is too short to fit in the zigzag or arrow head or ...? Should the arpeggio be extended somewhat above and below the notes of the chord, or ...? As a workaround, you could add invisible note heads to the chord.
