Hello all,
I often run into the situation where I have to control the spacing *above* a
context, independent of what context is there.
For example, consider a choir score structured as follows:
ScoreMarks
ChoirStaff <<
SA-Lyrics
SA-Staff
SATB-Lyrics
TB-Staff
TB-Lyrics
>>
ScoreMarksForReduction
Reduction <<
ReductionUpperStaff
ReductionLowerStaff
>>
I want to control the amount of padding *above* the ScoreMarksForReduction
context. I believe my only choice currently (v2.19.x) is to attempt to control
it via the padding *below* the ChoirStaff. However, it is a known issue
(“feature”?) that the TB-Lyrics context is not considered in the spacing
engine. And VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing doesn’t solve the
problem, becuase the spacing changes when lyrics are present versus when
they’re not. So I need to fiddle around with a new context (“LastLyrics”), etc.
etc.
All this fussy coding would go away if I could use something like
\override VerticalAxisGroup.above-[non]staff-spacing = …
How difficult would it be to implement this feature?
Thanks,
Kieren.
