Hi Rus, > I have some questions about horizontal spacing: > — How to reduce the proportional notation?
Not sure exactly what you mean here… but have you read the manual? Specifically <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/changing-horizontal-spacing> and the sections around there. Of course, once you bring lyrics into the mix, the note-spacing options become [understandably] more limited. > — How can I control (I need to increase) the space between the bar line and > the following note (or lyrics syllable)? \layout { \context { \Score \override BarLine.space-alist.next-note = #'(semi-fixed-space . 5) } } This is extreme, of course — change the 5 to whatever value you want (the default is 0.9, as seen here: <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/barline>). Hope this helps!
