Thanks for the quick reply Christian,
I have many examples of music, combined into one thesis, which is all written in latex. Could I make the redefinition you gave, at the start of my thesis tex file, so that it applies to the many different musical examples, all at once? Cheers, Brendan PS: Unfortunately, prepmx and pmxb don't seem to be available anymore - without root access, I'll have to wait for the Uni admin people to do it. It would be great if I could just define the vertical space once at the start of the thesis, to cover the whole thing. -- +61 3 9515 7575 (if calling from US, replace "+" with "011") ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christian Mondrup" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Typesetting music with TeX" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 6:29 PM Subject: Re: [TeX-music] increase vertical space lyrics > Brendan Macmillan wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm revisiting some M-Tx I wrote 7 years ago; but the spacing between lines > > of lyrics has shrunk for some reason!
