Re: Vertical space above ossia

[Walter Garcia-Fontes]

Sorry Ben, I answer with a photo. Actually the demand is
both, to make the ossia closer to the below staff, and to reduce the
distance with the above staff. But there is an unbreakable space above
the ossia it seems, so the most it can be done is to increase the
space between all staffs in the score to make them equally spaced, but
this cannot be reduced beyond some point.

This can be easily done using a markup instead the ossia code of the
manual, as I said in one of my posts. I attach what I achieve with the
markup, but can't achieve with the actual ossia code. This is the code
for the attached:


\version "2.19.32"


\new Staff = "main" \relative {
\repeat unfold 4 {  c''4 b d c} \break
c4 b d c c^\markup {
    \score {
    \new Staff \with {
      \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
      alignAboveContext = #"main"
      \magnifyStaff #2/3
      firstClef = ##f
    }
   
  \relative c''  { e4 d f e  \bar "|"}
  \layout { } 
 }
} \repeat unfold 2 {  c4 b d c} \break
\repeat unfold 4 {  c4 b d c} \break
\repeat unfold 4 {  c4 b d c} \break
  c4 b c2
}

\paper {
  system-system-spacing =
    #'((basic-distance . 10)
       (minimum-distance . 1)
       (padding . 1)
       (stretchability . 6))
}


Thanks,
Walter
