Hi all, > \layout { > \override Score.SpacingSpanner.strict-note-spacing = ##t > }
That works [for this MWE], as does \layout { \context { \Score \override SpacingSpanner.strict-note-spacing = ##t } } Meanwhile… check out this awesome bug!! =) \version "2.22.1" MyUpper = \relative c'' { \override Score.SpacingSpanner.strict-grace-spacing = ##t %% comment/uncomment this line and the contexts switch!! c4 b a g8[ \appoggiatura { f32[ e]} d8] } MyLower = \relative c' { f4 g a b16 c b c } \score { << \MyUpper \MyLower >> } Cheers, Kieren.
