Hello Brent,
The good old ‘" "’ in \column trick:
\version "2.22.0"
\header {
title =
\markup {
\column {
"Space after title"
" "
}
}
}
myChords = \chordmode {
c1 | d1:m9 | g:13 | g:m7 |
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames {
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = 3
\myChords
}
\new Staff { c''1 d''1 e''1 f'' }
>>
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames {
\myChords
}
\new Staff { c''1 d''1 e''1 f'' }
>>
}
