I am working on plainchant (Gregorian chant). There is no time signature. I am showing an incipit with the original Editio Vaticana style do clef <https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/typesetting-gregorian-chant> . My code is below.
I am using \remove Time_signature_engraver in the \MensuralStaff context to remove from the incipit the time signature and its associated horizontal space. But there is still too much horizontal space between the Gregorian clef <https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/clef-styles> and the note (c1) in the incipit. Screenshot: [image: image.png] Compare https://gregobase.selapa.net/sources/3/402.png, a page scan from the Liber Usualis, which shows the horizontal distance between clef and note that I want to reproduce. How can I get this spacing? All the best, Gabriel %%% CODE BEGINS \version "2.24.4" incipitMusic = \relative c { \sourcefileline 1783 \override Staff.StaffSymbol.line-count = #4 % I disabled the following line of code in favour of \remove Time_signature_engraver in the \MensuralStaff context % \override Staff.TimeSignature.stencil = ##f \clef "vaticana-do3" \override NoteHead.style = #'vaticana.punctum c1 } ictus = #(make-articulation 'ictus) chant = \relative c' { \cadenzaOn c4 e g\ictus a g2 a4 c\ictus b a g a\ictus g g2 \bar "," } verba = \lyricmode { Sál -- ve, Re -- gí -- "na, *" má -- ter mi -- se -- ri -- cór -- di -- ae: } \score { \new Staff \with { \incipit \incipitMusic instrumentName = "" } << \new Voice = "melody" \chant \new Lyrics = "one" \lyricsto melody \verba >> \layout { \context { \Voice \remove Stem_engraver } \context { \Staff \remove Time_signature_engraver } \context { \MensuralStaff \remove Time_signature_engraver } } } %%% CODE ENDS
