Hi David, I will send you a copy of that score, Poulenc's quatrième Nocturne. Do you want a pdf only or also the .ly-file ? I also transcribed Poulenc's third Novelette and his 5th Improvisation. Would you also be interested in these nice pieces? It may take a day or two to finish them. Best r

Hi Torsten, Thank you very much. This does help, or better, it neatly solves my problem. (I had never used, or even read about, "baseline-skip" so this is also a very useful contribution to my LilyPond education.) In your PS you wrote that you don't know the original page layout. That is hard

Hi Andrew Thanks for your advice. Your code certainly inserts vertical spaces, but too many and too wide. Setting \vspace #0 does not change their width. I tried several other potential tweaks but in the end I accepted what you can see in the left screenshot. Not bad compared with the original

Dear all, A piano piece that I have transcribed has, below its last note in the lower staff, three or four texts, two of which are dynamics, and the other some general info about the piece. In the original it looks like this: m. d. dessus Rome Mars 1934 How can I insert a vertical space or
