> The space between the clef and the first note is not compressible (almost as if it's still leaving space for the time signature). Is there a way to squeeze this? I'm wanting this in a footnote and it needs to be reduced in size to look right. Thanks for the help.
Hi Jay,
The space between Clef and first-note is documented in the Internals References manual,
IR 3.1.26 Clef
You can modify the space-alist property for the first-note item. Either by changing the spacing-style to a stretchable (or semi-fixed) space or by reducing the value of minimum-fixed-space.
Cheers,
