I have never touched my baseline heights, preferring to
adjust vertical offsets in the expressions themselves for automatic
placement purposes.
i do much the same, reading my comment again i see it wasn't really
clear that i was talking about the triangles you can adjust on the
left of the screen. from the manual chapter 37-23:
Baseline Positioning in linked parts
- Moving the leftmost baseline triangle (all staves/all systems)
in the Score effects all Parts.
They must mean "affects."
- Moving the 2nd baseline triangle (entire staff) in the Score
applies to all parts that contain that staff.
- Moving the 3rd baseline triangle (single system) has no effect
on parts, only the score.
- Moving the 4th baseline triangle has no effect in any part.
uh... so what does the 4th triangle do then that the 3rd can't do?
I have never grasped the 4th triangle in the other tools either. And
furthermore, the definitions you quoted above are news to me, as I
had always assumed that they were identical to the 4 triangles in the
other tools like lyrics and chords. But since I don't touch them as a
rule...
actually... thinking a little about this i see they could be quite
useful for lower staves of grand staff parts and vocal parts, where
the dynamics should sit above the staff; instead of manually
adjusting each expression vertically.
There you go!
