You could overrule the spacing-engine for the first page following http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/explicit-staff-and-system-positioning Needs manual work, ofcourse ... \version "2.19.24" m = \repeat unfold 3 { c''1 \break } first-page-settings = { \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details #'((Y-offset . 45) (alignment-distances . (9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9))) s1 \pageBreak } << \new Staff << \first-page-settings \m >> \new Staff \m \new Staff \m \new Staff \m \new Staff \m \new Staff \m \new Staff \m \new Staff \m >> Please always post a short, better minimal code-example ;) HTH, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
