Only problem is that there is too little vertical space between the
staves/lines. How do I increase that (and add more space at the top)? As
a purely academical question I was wondering why lilypond will give an
error warning even though the document is fine? This is the lilypond output:
To get more space, add the following line to your \paper{} block.
between-system-space = 6\cm
(This is described in the Notation Reference section 4.4.2 Vertical spacing
between systems)
I'd also recommend adding
indent = 0
to your \paper{} block; I think it's much more appealing for this type of
layout.
I was going to recommend the same thing. Here's what I added to make it
more to my taste as well:
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
}
}
This gets rid of the measure numbers. So the whole \score block looks
like this:
\score {
<<
\new FretBoards {
\override FretBoard #'fret-diagram-details #'open-string = #" "
\override FretBoard #'fret-diagram-details #'fret-count = #6
\chordmode {
\repeat unfold 20 { c''2 c''2 }
}
}
\context Staff {
\repeat unfold 5 {s1 s1 s1 s1 \break}
\bar "|."
}
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
}
}
}
To get more space at the top, you could add some title block elements as
" ", which won't show but will take up space. For example, you could add
(in your \header{} block):
title = " "
subtitle = " "
composer = " "
arranger = " "
Funny, I tried this (after Risto showed me how to use the same thing
with my LyricExtender problem) and it didn't make any difference in the
space at the top. I don't mind the spacing as is, though.
This is a cool template. Thanks guys,
Jon
