Well, IMO as soon as you start contradicting LilyPond’s decisions you’re losing consistency anyway. \newSpacingSection may at least give you some consistency at a local level (unlike adding skips as the OP was understandably reluctant to do). > (Also it is overly complicated for overriding a single bit auf spacing). “Auf” oder “von”? :-) > What we would want to do is to remain in one sense of spacing and > modify spacing only for single exceptions. That is one way to do it (I actually hadn’t seen your message when I posted mine; your mail client seems to be messing with subject lines, as this message is another example). Anybody who’s ever been using GNU LilyPond will tell you two things anyway: - no matter where you look, there’s _always_ more than one way to skin a cat; - no matter where you look, spacing algorithms are _always_ the single most complex piece of LilyPond. (Well actually I cheated a bit, because vertical spacing is certainly even worse. But the point still stands for horizontal spacing within systems.) So your answer is certainly a good one; mine may be a bit simpler although it may have its downsides, depending on taste. Cheers, -- V.
