I removed all the /spacing/ variables in a few of these scores and I think the output does not look bad (except maybe for the lacking distance of the footnote) - maybe vertical spacing has improved since you wrote your empty score sheets (2.12.3)?! also, this could be considered as a matter of style and perhaps it would be good to (pre-)define different styles - I'm thinking of a /normal/ versus a /narrow/ style to use in a performance where you can't scroll through tens of pages, or a style for weak-sighted people … >> I believe there are such cases and therefore I'm glad we have the >> possibility to use Harms' solution (or others). >> >> but if we want to improve the spacing we definitely need some traceable >> examples! > > As I run into several bad vertical spacing issues (I have some overrides > that work most of the time, but terribly break with a 100-pages full > score with 23 instruments and 12 movements...), I started writing a test > file containing exactly such examples a while ago. > > Unfortunately, my time is really constrained currently (had a concert > with SS Rattle last saturday/sunday, an upcoming opera premiere in the > Theater an der Wien and a normal day job), so I have only some cases for > single-staff scores...
