Re: How do I create vertical space between staff lines

2015-02-11 Thread Kevin Barry
Hi Stan,

Without seeing some code I can't be very specific, but here are some
thoughts.

The variable system-system-spacing controls the distance between systems
(it can be set in a \paper block or a \layout block I think). I think you
have to set it for a whole score though, that is, you can't change it on a
per-system basis (but I'm not 100% sure, someone could correct me on that).
So one way to accomplish what you want would be to have a separate \score
block for each section, and increase the space between scores (with the
score-system-spacing variable in the \paper block). If you don't want to
put the various sections into their own scores then you could do something
hackish like placing something transparent underneath a system to force
more space between it and the one underneath.

hth,
Kevin

I've searched, but can't seem to pull this together. How is this done?
Just off the top of my head: Either you use different \scores for the 
sections (eventually with indent = 0) and increase score-system-spacing 
 
or, if you don’t mind a little hack, you attach a blank markup to a note 
in the top staff of the system (btw: mind the difference between systems 
and staves, it reduces confusion) which follows the intended gap, e.g. 
^\markup \vspace #5 or ^\markup \huge \strut (didn’t try these, just 
adjust them to your needs).

Has anyone used OooLilyPond recently?
Today I tried it again and was getting an error that didn't happen to me 
when I last used it (quite some time ago).


The macro fails if I select "png" output in the the OooLilyPond config 
dialog. If I switch to "eps" it works again.


I am using Libre Office 4.3.5.2, LilyPond 2.19.15, OooLilyPond 0.4.0

Hi all,

>> I've not figured out how to (if it's possible) get a skip for 12 bars in 5/8 

>  How about: R1*5/8*15

Why not just s8*5*12 or R8*5*12?

In general, for a skip or rest of M measures of N/D time, you can always use 
sD*N*M or RD*N*M.

Hope this helps!

Here's how I do it:
R1*5/8*12

Whole note rest, scaled by the time sig, times the number of measures
