Merhaba Emre, First let me state that I consider using lyrics the best compromise when trying to achieve a half-way rhythmically consistent spacing in combination with rather long syllables ("Düüm"). I'd even use a smaller font size and/or a condensed font, eventually. In my example coding below, *\override LyricText.font-size = #-2* doesn't obscure the natural spacing anymore. The gap between time signature and first note can be set as follows: *\override Staff.TimeSignature.space-alist.first-note = #'(fixed-space . 4)* A complete list of all the internal properties of TimeSignature can be found here: 3.1.126 TimeSignature <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/timesignature> Using the reduced font-size, the default gap (2) isn't too bad, though. By the way: \relative c' { ... } doesn't make any sense in a \RhythmicStaff. \startStaff is completely unnecessary You can use the short forms \stemUp, \stemDown, \stemNeutral instead of \override Stem.direction = #... \override Staff.Clef #'stencil = ##f has no effect, either. Based on your laste example, you'll get %%% << \new RhythmicStaff { \numericTimeSignature \override Staff.TimeSignature.space-alist.first-note = #'(fixed-space . 4) \time 4/4 c2 c4 \stemDown c4 } \addlyrics { Düüm Te Ke } >> %%% All the best, Torsten -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
