I have a passage of piano music with a lot of kneed beams between the staves, and there’s too few objects above the bass staff to force enough space. How can I increase the default spacing between the treble and bass parts of the piano staff?
Here’s an example. The “dim.” clashes with the beam on beat 1, and beat 4 in the bass is just a mess. \version "2.24.1" top = { \change Staff = "upper" \voiceTwo } bottom = { \change Staff = "lower" \voiceOne } upper = \relative c'' { \key g \minor \new Voice { \voiceOne g8\(\dim gis\! a4\)~ a8\(^\markup {\italic "poco rit."} bes \tuplet 3/2 { c d ees\) } | } } lower = \relative { \clef bass \key g \minor \new Voice { \voiceOne bes16 b \top d f \bottom b, c \top ees f \bottom g, c \top ees f \bottom a, g' \top ees \bottom f | } } \score { \new PianoStaff { << \new Staff = "upper" \upper \new Staff = "lower" \lower >> } }
