Greetings, Rutger: Rather than query the font size, I use a simple calculation on the global staff size: In the individual files, globalSize = 18 % or 20 or 15, or what-you-will In the file of included definitions (thus always accessible): mgnStf = #(/ 20 globalSize) Then the eps file is

Version 2.12 has this new feature: Notes or rests, such as a typical end note, that fill an entire measure are preceded by some more space. The amount of more space varies with how loose / tight the line is (which is a good thing) but for me, it's a bit too much overall. Is there a way to
