I have a piece which I tell PMX to spread over 2 pages, 8 systems. It's a bit crowded on Page 1 because I have three verses of lyrics above the top line of each system, and rather loose on Page 2. So I say 7 systems. Page 1 now has three systems and Page 2 four, as I expected, but Page 1 is no longer nicely expanded. Everything is crowded in the top half of the page and the bottom half is blank. The title of the piece is printed over the three verses of lyrics.
I know it's a TeX thing: if the total text height is not enough, vertical space is not distributed when the page is shipped out. But the real reason is that TeX does not know about the space taken up by the lyrics. I know how to tell TeX to put extra space between staves in a system. And between systems. But I do not know how to tell TeX to put extra space above the first system. PMX has a feature for that, in theory. Tt15 instead of just Tt should do it. But the TeX file produced is identical. The documentation says that Tt should appear after Tc and Ti. I don't have Tc ot Ti. ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
