Hi Ben, > I thought the OP was only concerned with the space from the barline to the > first note of each bar, right?
No… Here's what the OP said: > How about controlling the space between the bar line and the following lyrics > syllable? > Is there something like BarLine.space-alist.next-LYRIC? Clearly, my solution (the same as the one you posted) solved the note problem, of the two the OP first asked about. > Maybe it's an illusion and I'm seeing things after a wicked long day > here...but I swear the pre "a/aa/aaaa/a" space looks the same. In m.2, m.3, and m.4, the number of pixels (at a fixed magnification) from the rightmost edge of the barline to the leftmost edge of the lyric syllable are 85px, 58px, and 98px, respectively. Hope this helps, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
