I founded some important but not very well documented feature. It is important when you use G_8 clef with lyrics, because using the same minimumVerticalExtent, the lyrics won't be in the same distance from the staff, as with a G or F clef (it is because the 8 in the clef).
If you want to set the vertical extent of a staff independently of the staff's contents you can use the property verticalExtent but it is limited to values set by minimumVerticalExtent, unless the latter is set to ##f. So to have any vertical extent of your choice you should write: \set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = ##f \set Staff.verticalExtent = #'(-4 . 6) Bert _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
