Dieter and Andre—
This issue is more complicated than it seems, and I’m afraid it’s been so long since I did the programming that it going to take me some more time to sort it out. The good news is that if you’re making a score, it’s very easy to experiment and you can almost always find a set of inputs that give you the vertical spacing you want. One thing I’ve noticed so far is this. Andre’s suggestion about changing (npages,nsystems) from (0,4) to (1,4) does lead to different vertical spacing, but it also leads to 4 systems on the page rather than 2, and that in itself completely changes the game. I don’t think npages=0 by itself changes the way AI operates, but it certainly can (and does in the example) influence the number of systems, and if it does change the number of systems, then of course it will change the vertical spacing. Another thing I’ve noticed is that if you remove the instrument, title, and composer from Dieter’s latest file, and don’t change anything else, you get a major change in the vertical spacing. I’ll report back when I’ve had a chance to review this more thoroughly. --Don Simons From: TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Andre Van Ryckeghem Sent: Friday, August 19, 2016 8:48 PM To: Werner Icking Music Archive <tex-music@tug.org> Subject: Re: [Tex-music] Vertical spacing: AI-Option in PMX I believe the ---- % npages nsystems musicsize fracindent 0 <---- 4 20 0.05 ----- does not obey the rules anymore.

According to Noack: <wlmailhtml:%7b9B52E287-6BA4-45EE-899C-BC27EAB74670%7dmid://00000023/!cid:part1.F28A4AC9.6198F912@web.de> ======================================================================================== I understand that \interstaff will be multiplied by x, when I use this option. But what I find is for a certain configuration, that the staff distance in a piano piece becomes bigger, when I set x to 0.5 insted of 1.0. x = 0.5 x = 1.0 I am quite happy with the x =0.5 solution, but I would be happy to gain some understanding of what is happening.
