Hi Kaj, hi Lilypond users, I also would like to say that again that spacing is a bit daunting. But I hope with the help you got here, it is possible to adjust the spacing you need. The deeper understanding will come with time and it is difficult if one wants to understand everything at once.
To make the use of spacing settings easier, I put the most relevant settings on this page: http://joramberger.de/files/LilypondSpacing.pdf The aim of this is not to explain everything – that is better done in the docs – but to give a visual summary of the spacing settings and an example (on the left) how to change them. If you know that there are different settings in the paper and in the layout block and that there are fixed distances (in mm, cm, in) and flexible spacings (minimum-distance, basic-distance, padding, strechability), then this cheat sheet should make it easier to adjust all these to your liking. Cheers, Joram PS: Lyrics and other nonstaff spacings are to be done. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
