RE: vertical spacing between scores

[Nick Payne]

I think Gerard is talking about a problem he has, rather than the one you originally posed.

 

FWIW, I have in the past seen some of the same behaviour he describes – when adding the between-system-space and between-system padding commands to a score,  a large gap opens up in the output between the title and first stave. I can’t remember if I managed to fix it or just removed the commands.

I used these:

\paper {

 between-system-padding = 0\mm
}

 

However, I also used a page title and this:

#(set-global-staff-size 26)

 

It caused a number of problems, one of which is that the

distance between scores did not increase or decrease in

a predictable way.  Also the distance between the title and

first score increased an awful lot.   After much tinkering with

the numbers I got an acceptable result, but it would be nice

to know why things were not predictable.  I'm pretty much a

newbie, so hopefully one of the experts will step in here.

I'm confused. Are you doing this to control the distance between systems or scores? I want to decrease the spaces between multiple \score blocks in a single \book block. I don't know if \bookpart allows that, but I haven't had much success with \bookpart in general, so I haven't been to eager to try again.
