$padding is used inside a quoted list, but it should be unquoted. Try
barpadding = #(define-music-function (parser location padding music)
(number? ly:music?)
#{
\once \override Score.BarLine #'space-alist =
#`((first-note extra-space . ,$padding))
$music
#}
)
{ c'1 \barpadding #32 { c' c' } c' }
The error message is horrible; programmers who implement constant
error messages should consider a career switch.

I would guess that in the situation where you need the staff to line
up with the staff on the next page, you would want a non-ragged
bottom, so that the person playing a middle staff in an 8-staff
system would be able to just follow a straight line. But I think the
situation where the space between the title and the first staff looks
wierd is probably more common.

Re: System at bottom page on score
Hello,
Dave K. napsal(a):
Anyone know a reason why it isn't?
You want to set:
\paper {
ragged-bottom = ##t
}
I'm not sure why this isn't the default.
Well, I think it's because LilyPond coders suppose to use LilyPond for
typesetting multipage pieces and ragged bottom doesn't look well. In a
template I use I've even set ragged-last-bottom to ##f and play with the
system-count variable.
I think templates are a good place to set defaults according to
everyone's taste, I've also included in my personal template some
complicated code structures to reduce typos.

I think there are many benefits for using a wiki instead of the way the documentation is done now. I think it's more easy for the editor, because he doesn't have to add all contibutions manually, This is absolutely NO problem for me if I get an email which proposes the exact changes. The problem in writing docs is in coming up with the initial text, not in the technical step of translating it into texinfo. Another benefit is that we don't have to wait until a new version of Lilypond is built for new documentation to come available on-line. If this is a serious concern, I could start making doc tarballs available -- or even hosting temporary docs on my webpage. I agree that sometimes this has bothered me. A third benefit is that the documentation does not depend on one or a few persons any more. There is nothing intrinsic in a wiki that does this. Whether the documentation depends on a few people is simply a matter of the community. As I've said, adding new material to the docs is easier than adding an entry to a wiki. All you need is email.

Perhaps it's a good idea to set up a wiki for the docs. this was done in the past without success. a wiki would be an advantage (besides it's shortcomings) if there was a good number of people wiling to maintain it, but that doesn't seem to be the case. the current docs are in much better shape now than ever, and the format in use allows to generate html pages and pdf as well. if one wants to help, the easiest way is to write in plain text and send it to Graham, he will take care of the necessary conversion to the format in use (texinfo).

I'm engraving my current score with "modern time signature

It's working great! (Many thanks to the T&T and docs authors!)
However, I'd like to get the first note of the bars with a time
signature change to be closer to the beginning of the measure, and
the code I'm using makes the score *look* great, but I'm getting
programming error: No spacing entry from TimeSignature to `right-edge'
continuing, cross fingers
Just wanted someone to know! Is this a bug I should copy to lilypond-

I have found the most useful way for me to work with Lilypond is to download the documentation tarball and have this installed on my hard drive. I can then easily travel through the User Manual and the Program Reference sections. I would find using a Wiki cumbersome. By the way I would like to thank those who make the Documentation tarball available. This was a big move forward for me as the previous documentation did not include the images or they did not get installed on Mac OS X. This meant that I had to go to the internet and farm the required pages from the Lilypond site. I am sure the tarball is a far better solution. Thanks very much!

Re: Helping with the documentation
Hi Graham,What I'm missing currently in the docs is a section about organ music. There are some instrument-specific things that can be discussed in such a section. I'm willing to help with that, but I have very little spare time. So I was thinking of a method to make contibuting to the docs more easy. Perhaps it's a good idea to set up a wiki for the docs. I believe there is a lilypond plugin for wikis, to make it easy to post comments and their results. We could start by only adding some new topics and then gradually move more and more topics from the old docs to the wiki. After some time we end up with the full documentation in a wiki. Since wikis have a versioning system built in, we could use that to keep info for older versions of Lily available. I think there are many benefits for using a wiki instead of the way the documentation is done now. I think it's more easy for the editor, because he doesn't have to add all contibutions manually, he only has to edit them. Another benefit is that we don't have to wait until a new version of Lilypond is built for new documentation to come available on-line. A third benefit is that the documentation does not depend on one or a few persons any more. I hope you want to consider my suggestions. As I said, I don't have much time, but I'm willing to help in the few moments I have. I have some experience with setting up a wiki. And for the documentation itself: I play the organ as an amateur, so I know a low about organ and also choral music notation.

How to tune space between key signature and first note?
Hello, I have a score in A minor (blank key signature) but with a part for a clarinet in B flat, so there is a key signature in B minor for its part (2 sharps). The problem stems from the fact that the notes on the Clarinet parts are too close to the key signature, whereas of course other parts have ample room between the clef and the first note since there is no signature. How can I add a constant offset between the emission of the key signature and the first note on a staff?
