You wrote:- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I am interested in controlling the vertical spacing within systems. I recently migrated from 2.12.2 to 2.15.39 . In my one lilypond score, the spacing between systems changed greatly between the PDFs built with these two versions Online documentation v2.12, has a section that specifically discusses this: 4.4.2 Vertical spacing between systems and discusses the use of the following four variables: between-system-space = 1.5\cm between-system-padding = #1 ragged-bottom=##f ragged-last-bottom=##f I started looking at the 2.14 documentation (the most recent I could find at http://lilypond.org) and the title of 4.4.2 was changed to: 4.4.2 Explicit staff and system positioning (which generally means the same thing) though now this section includes no mention of the between-system-space and between-system-padding variables. Are these four variables considered deprecated? Thanks; ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Greetings Ivan, Did you use convert.ly to 'upgrade' your lilypond score?
The following link might provide the information you require:- http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation-big-page.html#flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems That is section 4.4.1 - See Section 4.4.2 as well Note that it is for LP v 2.15.41 but it should apply to 2.15.39 Hope this helps Regards Bill _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
