What must I do to make
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-10 . 10)
work for the `StaffGroup' context? I want a score layout like
this (each horizontal line represents a staff):
You can't, technically: StaffGroup is just a bunch of staves with a
bracket in front, and spanning bar lines.
This is a pity, IMHO. Graham, this should be probably documented...
I could fiddle with VerticalAxisGroup of single staff lines, but...
I could also insert invisible staves, but...
If you're inserting something invisible, I'd recommend a Lyrics
context. You have to make sure it's not hara-kiri'd though.
Will give it a try, thanks.
A related problem which I consider as very important is the
introduction of stretching vertical space as used in TeX:
\vspace 3em plus 10pt minus 10pt
On the other hand, page-layout-twopass.ly, which probably can do
something similar already, appears to be broken: The output file
page-layout-twopass-page-layout.ly is always empty. Or am I missing
something? The documentation is, hmm, sparse...
