I think the staff spacing parameters take effect for the whole score.
Nope. I just copied and pasted the measure several times. When the measure is at the next line I get the warning
no viable initial configuration found: may not find good beam slope
again with an ugly layout. The staff spacing seems to be affected only \once.
Sometime before 2.18 I will need to find a new method. The best I can think
of so far is to print a tall invisible box---a "phantom strut"---where I need
space.
r8-\tweak #'stencil #(ly:make-stencil '() '(0 . 0.1) '(0 . 6) )
^"request space above, so that the staves spread"
gis,,,,!32\([ b dis gis!
\change Staff=upper \times 4/6 { b dis gis! b dis gis!\)]
This works with 2.16 too. Should I prefer one method to the other because of some side effects or can I use it interchangeable?
