Ah, you're saying that if I'd read past the "vertical spacing" and "horizontal spacing" sections I'd have found the section titled to fit my question and be a happier guy? Thank you for that. And also for pointing out page-count. That does seem easiest and in fact it worked. I always like it best

Hi Tom The documentation provides different methods to fit music on fewer pages: https://lilypond.org/doc/Documentation/notation/fitting-music-onto-fewer-pages Adding page-count = 6 to your /paper block is probably the easiest option. Best wishes, Jakob On 10.07.2023 00.39, Tom Sgouros

Doubling a note makes MIDI output louder

Hi everyone. If two voices play the same note, the MIDI output for that note is louder (twice as loud?) than the surrounding notes. %%% \version "2.25.6" \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff { g'8 d' e' d' g'2 } \new Staff { \clef bass b8 d' c' d' b2 } >> \layout {} \midi {} }
