If you're familiar with LaTeX, you can create a document that invokes Lilypond scores: main.lytex: \documentclass[12pt]{book} \usepackage[paperheight=10in,paperwidth=7in,margin=0.5in,twoside]{geometry} \usepackage[latin,main=english]{babel} \usepackage{fontspec} \usepackage{fancyhdr} \pagest

Re: Helpless with system spacing

2020-03-01 Thread Richard Chonak
Often there's more than one way to get a nice result. The \paper variables "page-count" and "systems-per-page" let you deal with spacing at a high level, instead of fine-tuning the vertical spacing variables like "system-system-spacing". --Richard ---begin example--- \version "2.19.82" #(s

The first line is indented because of the default indent setting. You can control this in the \layout block. For example: \layout { indent = 1\cm } If you specify a zero, then omit the units and enter simply: "indent = 0". If you have two \score objects in a single .ly file, each one has
