Hi Paolo, > Is there a way to add extra space at the beginning of a bar without > overriding the X-offset of the starting notes/rests/chords? > { .... how to add space here? ..... c' c' c' c' }
Here are two options that avoid X-offset: \version "2.19.80" \language "english" \score { \repeat unfold 12 { c'4 } \layout { \context { \Score \override BarLine.space-alist.first-note = #'(fixed-space . 12) \override BarLine.space-alist.next-note = #'(semi-fixed-space . 12.5) } } } { \tweak NoteHead.extra-spacing-width #'(-12 . 0) c'4 4 4 4 } Hope that helps!
