Re: Colliding fret-diagrams

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's much easier to provide a relevant answer to your question if you 
include a small example .ly file that illustrates your problem.
Also, don't forget to tell what LilyPond version you use.

How do you typeset the fret diagrams? Do you attach them to note like
c^\markup \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;"
or do you typeset them as a Lyrics line
\new Lyrics { \markup \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;" ... }
or do you use the new (but still undocumented) FretBoards context
which was introduced in version 2.10 (see the NEWS link in the 
documentation for 2.10 for an example)?

The answer will be different in the three different cases.
In the first case, it should work to use \fatText, as is illustrated in 
the following example:

\version "2.10.0"
\relative c { \fatText c8^\markup \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;"
c^\markup \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;"
c^\markup \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;"
c^\markup \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;"
c^\markup \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;"
c^\markup \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;"
c^\markup \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;"
c^\markup \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;" |
}
\layout{ragged-right = ##t }


If you want to increase the spacing even further, the answer
is different if you use version 2.10.x or the experimental 2.11.x.
