Hi Stefano,
I have now re-read the Horizontal Spacing section, and I am a bit wiser
than I was.
When I tried it, the fix you suggested worked perfectly for the snippet
in my email. But I had great difficulty when I applied it to my actual
score: I kept getting numerous warnings:

I am having difficulty controlling the vertical postioning of rests in
a DrumStaff which has several DrumVoices representing different
instruments.
The easy method of using a note-name followed by '\rest' doesn't seem
to work in a DrumStaff. I have tried, for instance, 'sn8\rest', but

For harp ad lib. glissandi, I am trying to produce a continuous line
which zig-zags across 2 staves. I thought I could do this by placing
notes on alternate staves at the end of each "zig" or "zag", and then
putting glissandi between them. Then (I thought) I could make the
notes invisible, and

I have just spent half a day trying to work out why one staff in my

Eventually I found out that it is because \partCombine seems only
partially to understand tags.
The following example illustrates this:

I have just spent several hours trying to find the reason that
metronome marks were affecting the spacing of notes in certain parts of
my score. At last I have found the offending line.
I am using the "MarkLine" context from the LSR, because I want markings
to appear at the top of the score

I have been making rapid progress in setting the orchestral piece which

But suddenly I came across a problem which, try as

obvious now you have suggested it.
In the actual clarinet parts where I first met the problem, this solves

However, I think that perhaps I should investigate your pmp.ily, as it
is highly likely that I shall need it at some point.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Rutger
Thanks again for sharing your brilliant work on staff management.
I downloaded pmp.ily, and I have got it working for my orchestral
score. Clearly it is more versatile and controllable than
\partCombine. But it is, of course, somewhat more complicated to use,
by its very nature and

I have never used 'showLastLength' or 'showFirstLength' until today.
I inserted a line such as
showLastLength = R1*5
exactly as shown in NR3.4.2, immediately before the first (and only)
\score { } section.
But every time I try to compile the file I get:

The only orchestral piece I have set in Lilypond until now was for 12
strings and a couple of other instruments. I had 2 versions of the
strings material, one of which kept all of the parts on separate staves
for the parts, and the other which combined them on to fewer staves
(where appropriate)

I think the real question is "what do you call a single figure or

"figured bass" means a bass line (not a single note) that has figuring

It's a while since I used Lilypond. I have a bit of tweaking I want to
do to some scores, so thought I should download the latest version. In
the end, I decided to use v2.24.1, rather than 2.25.4, although I have
mostly used the "unstable" versions in the past.

It's worth noting that, at least in an orchestral context, horns are

I haven't used Lilypond for a while, but I have currently got v.2.24.1
I started a new, very small, project today, but I can't compile
anything. Thinking I must have forgotten even the basics of writing
Lilypond files, I tried a few of my previous project files which I have
successfully compiled
I include my code below - this is as far as I got before discovering
the problem. Jakob, I don't seeing the code will help: if there were a
significant problem with it, then normally Lilypond would report
warnings and errors upon compilation. But as I said, it reports
nothing!
