William Oram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: 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? No. The purpose of two pass spacing is to have the same page breaks, but with bigger systems, that is less space between systems. Well, naturally, some systems are too big to accomodate anything else on the same page. These are the ones that are properly respaced. The point I'm trying to make is that systems small enough to allow others on the same page a) are given their own page regardless, and b) not respaced at all. 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? Two-pass spacing works on several score books -- it was written for that. By the way, are you sure you need to explicitely use \book? Maybe you could send the ly file with the score definitions (that is, the \score blocks, but without the notes), to see if you're using it the right way. Given the zillion movements bundled together in this project, I assure you \book is wise. ;) But this I did figure out, and multiple movements are respaced. I didn't expect this given my perusal and brief (miscoded) trial of T-PVS' syntax -- it seemed like a one-movement-only toy. Problem 1) still remains, but turning it into a rest-only sample for bug killing purposes (granted it is a bug) is a good idea. If anyone associated with development/Google Code wants to file this, I'll get to making such a sample right quick. Yours very truly &c., I have to smile and remember when you accuse me of that smell ---------------------------------------------------------- _ | WILL ORAM ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) | spamguy (at) foxchange . com - against HTML email X | wro1 (at) cwru . edu & vCards / \ | | AIM spamguy21 ---------------------------------------------------------- (ABOVE: Magnetic poetry #3) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
