Alasdair Making small adjustments to the horizontal position of a single within-staff objects is best done with overrides that take effect after the typesetter has finished typesetting. So to move a clef use extra-offset, eg
\once \override Staff.Clef #'extra-offset = #'(-0.5 . 0) will move the clef half a staff-space to the left. Incidently, the spacing seems better in 2.11. I not sure what you mean by 'hard-space', but I think the answer is No. Trevor D -----Original Message----- From: Alasdair McAndrew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 January 2008 10:26 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Collision of clef and note - how to fix? Woohoo! That works very well indeed - thank you very much! It would be nice if I was able to move the position of the clef relative to its surrounding notes, so that it was closer to the note on its left, and further from the note on its right. But changing the beam position certainly fixes the collision property. Does Lilypond have a "hard space" concept?

See the R11 Learning Manual for an example of this. It's at the end of that section.

The attached image shows the problem I have - a clef colliding with a note beam. How can I fix this? (I'm using 2.10.33). I would be happy to either move the note, or include some "hard space" (if that exists in Lilypond) or fiddle with the beam properties. But I'm not sure how to easily do any of these.
