big space between all three lines. I thought that the StaffGrouper was
supposed to override settings in the VerticalAxisGroup, but maybe I have to
do it a different way? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
Well, apparently that's the case if you don't change the default values of
VerticalAxisGroup.staff-staff-spacing (maybe that's a bug).
In your case I would change the value of
VerticalAxisGroup.staff-staff-spacing for the staff above the PianoStaff.
\score {
<<
\new Staff \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-staff-spacing = #'((basic-distance
. 12)
(minimum-distance . 11)
(padding . 1))
} { c'1 }
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff { c'1 }
\new Staff { c'1 }
>>
>>
}
Kind regards,
Xavier
