It didn't work because you haven't specified appropriate context - SpacingSpanner lives in the Score context. And by the way, why are you using documentation for versions 2.16 and 2.17 while the file is marked as 2.14? This looks like a bad idea. best, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
