I'm using version 2.9.11
I've got a score which has text instructions to the players at a couple of places and I need to introduce more space between staves at these points to fit the text in. I got this working in a smaller file where I was only formatting the necessary staves.
However, it seems you can't change this value only for one or two systems - like the spacing of PianoStaff it seems to be fixed for the whole score, although this isn't in the documentation.
If I do:
\new Staff{
a b c
\pageBreak
\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-4 . 14)
a b c
}
then the two staves are spaced exactly the same.
I only get the desired (increased) spacing if I put the \override command at the beginning of what I am formatting.
Does anyone
know a way to work round this, or do I just have to format the score in three parts, and make sure all the bars actually appear myself?
Many thanks,
Vivian.
