I used to be able to control the space between staves using \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent
but recently, it seems to have lost functionality. For example, in the snippet below, no matter what numerical values I insert into the parentheses, the ossia staff doesn't change its (default?) position in relation to the main staff. \version "2.14.0" \layout {\context {\Score }} <<\new RhythmicStaff = "main" \with {\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-1 . 1) } <<\time 6/8 { b4. r4. b4. r4.} %ossia stave \new RhythmicStaff \with {alignAboveContext = #"main" fontSize = #-3} {b4 b8 r8 b4 b8 b4 b4 b8}>>>> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
