stanzas, refren advise

[Rob V]

Matevz,

The reason you have the extra white space between the staffs is because 
lilypond is creating a space to hold the blank lyrics, that's why 
\removeEmptyStaves doesn't remove them (they aren't empty, just blank).  I also 
have the same problem when I create songs with a refrain.  I've decided to use 
the \book feature to join several scores together to work around my problem.

\book {

\score { 
% holds the notes and words for the verse
}

\score {
% holds the notes and words for the refrain
}

\paper {}

}

This way the number of lyric lines in the verse will not effect the spacing of 
the refrain.  Also, each start of a refrain or verse in a new score will start 
at the beginning of a new line.  Sometimes this is good or bad, depending on 
the song.

I hope this helps you out.

Rob
