Try

```
\layout {
  \override Score.SpacingSpanner.packed-spacing = ##f
  \override Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment = 0.5
}
```

(adjust the 0.5 value)

Clefs live on staff level, VaticanaStaff in this case. Removing Clef_engraver 
from VaticanaVoice thus has no effect. Try

```
\new VaticanaStaff \with { \remove "Clef_engraver" } \new VaticanaVoice = 
"voice" \relative ...
```

Alternatively, use `\omit` as in Werner's reply.

Best,

Jean

Yes, see attached image, but there isn't an explicit command to access
it.  You have to use ligatures; look up the documentation for
`\deminutum`.

Yes, the horizontal spacing is problematic, and nobody works on it,
alas.

Maybe this?

```
\include "gregorian.ly"

\version "2.24.1"

\score { 
  <<
\new VaticanaVoice = "voice" \relative c' {
  \hide Staff.Clef
  \[ a2 \pes b4 \flexa a2 \]
  s8
  \[ a4 \pes b2 \]
  s8
  \[ b4 \flexa g2 \]
}
  >>

  \layout {
#(layout-set-staff-size 36)
line-width = 3\cm
ragged-last = ##f
\override SpacingSpanner.packed-spacing = ##f
  }
}

Modal notation

2023-04-21 Thread Victor Eijkhout
I’m trying to notate 1200-ish School of Notre Dame modal notation, and the 
Gregorian notation works out reasonably well.

1. I’m not finding a symbol for a “plica”: single note with ascending or 
descending tail on both sides. Does that exist?

2. More seriously: if I don’t include a Lyrics line, all notes get smushed 
together. 

3. Also: sometimes I want to set a small snippet where the exact pitch is 
irrelevant, but removing the Clef_engraver doesn’t work:

Advise? Thanks,

Victor.

Here’s a snippet:

\include "gregorian.ly"
%% #(ly:set-option 'crop #t)

voiceglobal = {  \omit Dots  \omit Tie  \time 3/4 }

  \score{
<<
\new VaticanaVoice = "voice" 
\with { \remove "Clef_engraver" }
\relative c' 
{
  \voiceglobal
  \key c \major
  \clef "vaticana-do2"
  \[ a2 \pes b4 \flexa a2 \]
  \[ a4 \pes b2 \]
  \[ b4 \flexa g2 \]
}
%%\new Lyrics \lyricsto "voice" {   Vi}
>>
\layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 36) }
}
\version "2.24.1"
