Thank you, I read this section and tried to use those before posting to the mailing list and it would do nothing. In the end, it was a simple case of properly RTM. Those properties do not take numeric values but rather alists. I finally got my score to look like pretty much like I wanted.
In the end, I used those settings : \paper { %annotate-spacing = ##t markup-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 25) (minimum-distance . 15) (padding . 1) (stretchability . 30)) system-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 15) (minimum-distance . 10) (padding . 1) (stretchability . 60)) top-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 10) (minimum-distance . 5) (padding . 1) (stretchability . 30)) ragged-bottom = ##t } Daniel _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
