Hello Hans, LilyPonders, Thank you! I added the line to my Staff context, and everything worked as expected. \override BarLine.space-alist.next-note = #'(fixed-space . 1.2)
I wanted to refine the solution and add space only *after* double-bar lines, but adding the following to my bars doesn't seem to have any effect \once \override BarLine.space-alist.next-note = #'(fixed-space . 1.2) My bars section (separate from note input) \skip 1*16/4 \once \override BarLine.space-alist.next-note = #'(fixed-space . 1.2) \bar "||" \skip 1*16/4 \once \override BarLine.space-alist.next-note = #'(fixed-space . 1.2) \bar "||" \skip 1*16/4 \once \override BarLine.space-alist.next-note = #'(fixed-space . 1.2) \bar "||" \skip 1*8/4 \once \override BarLine.space-alist.next-note = #'(fixed-space . 1.2) \bar "||" Many thanks, mattfong On Mon, Aug 23, 2021 at 11:52 AM Hans Aikema <hans.aik...@aikebah.net> wrote: > > > On 23 Aug 2021, at 17:42, Matthew Fong <oxen...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hello fellow Lilyponders, > > I'm looking around the documentation on NoteHead to Barline spacing, and > I'm not finding much?
