I've been toying with two-pass vertical spacing. Pretty neat, and exactly what I need. A couple questions:
1) Is it *supposed* to force each system onto a separate page? That seems to be what it's doing: splitting pages with multiple systems. I'd be OK with this, aside from the smaller systems filled with tons of white space. Unfortunately, after giving systems their own pages, a vertical respacing isn't performed on them. In short, only pages that could fit one system anyway are properly respaced. It's hard to pictorally show this. Here's Preview.app's preview of the first 11 pages of a sample score. Without vertical spacing: http://www.foxchange.com/spamguy/nospacing.jpg With vertical spacing: http://www.foxchange.com/spamguy/spacing.jpg Note how pp. 3 - 6 have multiple systems per page in the first example. In the second, all systems on 3 - 6 are given their own pages but not stretched down the page. If you want code for this, I can provide the .lys that made the above, but making a simple reproduction from scratch is WAY beyond me. --- 2) This seems to be something that can't be applied across a \book {} of scores. I suppose with a little work a book could be broken into individual scores, processed separately, then merged together with LaTeX. But \book was invented to avoid that old mess, no? the morning lets you live but not sleeping is too hard ---------------------------------------------------------- _ | WILL ORAM ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) | spamguy (at) foxchange . com - against HTML email X | wro1 (at) cwru . edu & vCards / \ | | AIM spamguy21 ---------------------------------------------------------- (ABOVE: Magnetic poetry #1) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
