Now I see what you mean. The staves get spaced first, leaving only the room the Lyrics and Dynamics, etc. *need* to have 'padding around their glyphs and 'minimum-distance from the staff center. Then the Lyrics and Dynamic and FiguredBasses negotiate among themselves for the space based what they *want* for 'basic-distance and 'stretchability. The top staff wanted to get close to the top margin and didn't leave the top- row Lyrics as much room as they wanted. Either increasing Lyrics's 'minimum- distance or decreasing their 'basic-distance or increasing the top-system- spacing will even things up. I looked into the corresponding problem at the bottom of the page while adjusting defaults, but decided just to make only what I knew were improvements, and not guess about Lyrics (which I do not use myself). _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
