Thanks, Andre. I had not considered this approach, and it looks like I can even make it work locally (on a single system). But it’s disappointing if the only way I can get the spacing I need is to reassign instruments.

How can I get more vertical space only in the inter-staff gap where the lyrics are, and have the necessary reduction elsewhere distributed among the rest of the available space on the page? This gap is between two staves of the same instrument. While we’re at it, how could I similarly add vertical space just in the next inter-staff gap down, which is between two instruments in the same system? I’ve intentionally not used Ae, because I think it would create other problems in my ultimate application. --Don ====================== 4 -2 2 2 4 4 4 4 0 0 1 3 20 0 btbt .\ Abp % c43 c c c / c44 c c c / a43u au au au / e44l el el el / % c43 c c c / c44 c c c / b43u bu bu bu / "More space here please." c44l cl cl cl / % c43 c c c / c44 c c c / b43u bu bu bu / \lyricsoff\ c44l cl cl cl / ===================== _____ ------------------------------- TeX-music@tug.org <mailto:TeX-music@tug.org> mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
