Hi all, I am planning of typesetitng with lylipond a large quantity of vocal music with instruments for a pubblication. I am quite new to lilypond but after some work I was able to typeset the foist movement of the first chorus (eight voices + nine instruments). While everything seems to work out well, including lyrics, I have problems vith vertical spacing. I have set a vertical spacing og -6.6 in my \layout block:
\layout { indent = 2.0\cm \context { \Staff minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-6 . 6 ) } } The problem is that the voices wich have lyrics have a huge vertical spacing added in the first page (even if the voices enter after a few pages), disappears on subsequent pages, and reappears when the vhorus starts. This seems idipendent to the minimumVerticalExtent I try to set. Is there a way to force the vertical spacing of staffs with lyrics? The spacing between chorus staffs is indeed large, and the text is set far away from the end of the staff. BTW sometimes I get an erroneous page breaking (my 17-staff staff systems accoupies one full page): two systems instead of getting on two separate pages are put on one (one system shows fully and the other only the first staff, atthe end of the page). Lilypond ouputs non errors or warnings.
