Hi! I've the following two questions about grace notes: 1. Given an ordinary note/chord followed by a beamed sequence of 32th grace notes, is it possible to attach the beam to the ordinary note's stem? Or, in other words, if I have something like this: c4 \grace {c32 d fis g a ...} can

Changing vertical staff spacing for PianoStaff?

2004-02-16 Thread Matthias Kilian
Hi, is it possible to temporarily extend the vertical alignment of piano staffs? I've the problem that I need more space for some parts only. Enlarging the distance for the whole piece would just look ugly. Would it even be possible to let LilyPond automatically enlarge the distance to avoid col
