Re: ragged-bottom and spacing for individual pages
Hi Paul,
I have a separate voice where I put all my breaks and pageBreaks. I
haven't been able to make a blank markup. TIA on how to do that.
e.g.:
\version "2.25.1"
\paper {
indent = 0
ragged-bottom = ##f
}
{
\repeat unfold 2 { c'1 \break c'1 \pageBreak }
c'1 \break c'1-\tweak padding 132 _\markup " " \pageBreak
\repeat unfold 2 { c'1 \break c'1 \pageBreak }
}
Hope that helps!
Kieren.

For a ragged-bottom score the usual variables can be used: system-system-spacing, top-system-spacing, last-bottom-spacing and within-system spacing properties. You could use as well Explicit staff and system positioning, see NR 4.4.2. Kind regards, Xavier

A few things. Firstly, you must prefix make-score with a slash, just
like any other music function. Secondly, define-music-function is not
structured the same as Scheme's define. The procedure name will go
outside:
myFunction = #(define-music-function (arg1 arg2) (type? type?) ...)
Lastly, a music function must return what LilyPond considers music.
Top-level things like a \score or \book will not count. Instead, what
you will need is define-void-function, which does not return anything.
Within this function, you can call the internal functions for processing
scores and books directly:
make-score =
#(define-void-function
(instrumentName bookSuffix musicContent)
(string? string? ly:music?)
(toplevel-score-handler #{
\score {
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = #instrumentName
} { #musicContent }
\layout { }
}
#})
(toplevel-book-handler #{
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix #bookSuffix
\score {
\new Staff \with {
midiInstrument = "piccolo"
} { #musicContent }
\midi {
\tempo 4 = 80
}
}
}
#}))
% Usage
\make-score "۱" "1" { b'4 4 2 }
\make-score "۲" "2" { b'4 4 2 }
\make-score "3" "3" { b'4 4 2 }

Re: Troubles with StaffGrouper
Ah wonderful thanks! So basically what was happening is that a global
VericalAxisGroup will override the StaffGrouper, and so I needed to only
locally change the VerticalAxisGroup. Then the StaffGrouper actually worked!

How to use define-music-function?
Hello,
I'm a new lilypond user. I want to create multiple scores in a single
file. These scores have some values on common. So I want to use
`define-music-function` in order to avoid repetition.
Here is my code now:
\score {
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "۱"
} \one
\layout { }
}
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "1"
\score {
\new Staff \with {
midiInstrument = "piccolo"
} \one
\layout { }
\midi {
\tempo 4=80
}
}
}
\score {
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "۲"
} \two
\layout { }
}
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "2"
\score {
\new Staff \with {
midiInstrument = "piccolo"
} \two
\midi {
\tempo 4=80
}
}
}
\score {
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "۳"
} \three
\layout { }
}
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "3"
\score {
\new Staff \with {
midiInstrument = "piccolo"
} \three
\midi {
\tempo 4=80
}
}
}
I tried to make a generator function something like this:
#(define-music-function (make-score instrumentName bookSuffix musicContent)
(string? string? ly:music?)
#{
\score {
\new Staff \with {
instrumentName = $instrumentName
} $musicContent
\layout { }
}
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix $bookSuffix
\score {
\new Staff \with {
midiInstrument = "piccolo"
} $musicContent
\midi {
\tempo 4=80
}
}
}
#})
% Usage
make-score "۱" "1" \one
make-score "۲" "2" \two
make-score "3" "3" \three
However I stumbled upon the following error which I can't make a sense
of:
error: syntax error, unexpected STRING, expecting '.' or '='
make-score "۱
" "1" \one

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
