I have a score with many
repeated beamed quavers and semi-quavers on ledger lines. The default
layout is difficult to read as ledger lines and the staff produce an almost
hypnotic effect which confuses the reader. This resuluts in loss of
concentration and rythmic stumbles. I would like to space these beamed notes out
to provide white space between the notes. However all my attempts to make
changes (apart from set-global-staff-size) have failed even when the syntax is
accepted there is no change in the printed score.
I am finding the syntax
difficult to grasp so I hope this is not a trivial problem that I should be able
to solve for myself - any help would be gratefully recieved.
regards
Peter Gentry
