I went looking in the mail archive to see if I could find an answer to my question as I had not heard from anybody, only to discover that Mats had responded. For some reason it did not find its way to my in-box. Which LilyPond version? The vertical spacing handling has changed significantly

Hi, David: I went there per your suggestion and tried tweaking the minimum-y- extent but I was unable to make it any better. I eventually tried #'extra-offset on the lyrics. This solved half of the problem. I was able to move them close enough to the staff for my purposes but, of course, it

invisible ledger lines

2007-05-09 Thread David Bobroff
I need to make some ledger lines transparent. I'm using an invisible note from which to hang a lyric syllable. The part itself (not the cues) will need to be available in different clefs. This will result in ledger lines appearing in one clef or the other. I haven't yet found the right
