Re: Custom / Fine tuning vertical space between piano staff lines

[Harald Christiansen]

Thanks Simon,

Unfortunately the page you are referring to, points to (hard) anchoring linked relative to page, while I want flexible/relative space anchored to the staff above, i.e. some padding.

Something like the 'glue' concept in TeX, the \vspace in LaTeX.

Hi,

I need to add some supplemental white space between piano staff lines (to avoid a crowded look and near clashes).

I looked long and hard at TFM _and_ whatever snippets I could find, but unfortunately I am still none the wiser :|

The only thing that I found (and made sense to me) was the global page settings, but I don't want to change the global parameters, only to fine tune and add some vertical space between selected piano staff rows.

It’s intentional that you can normally only change global behaviour, to ensure a consistent spacing. The only proper possibility (apart from adding invisible objects, which would be really nasty and hard to maintain) seems using explicit staff and system positioning <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/explicit-staff-and-system-positioning>.

HTH, Simon
